Fiction, Age of Sail

Author: John Brent




Not to be confused with the more famous novel of the same title by Jack London written seventy years later, this novel, The Sea-Wolf, A Romance Of “The Free Traders”, tells the story—half romance, half tragedy—of a “free trader” (part smuggler, part pirate) who loves a woman to the point of obsession, though she is betrothed to the very man who, as commander of an English revenue cutter, is charged with patrolling the coast to stop men such as himself.

What a hopeless mess, eh?  The story takes place half on land, half at sea, and half in despair.

The revenue cutter is named the Greyhound, the free trader’s ship the Sea-Wolf—hence the title.
