But her debut is the least of her problem when she is quite literally pushed through a passage, emerging aboard what’s essentially a pirate ship amidst a skirmish in the 1776 Atlantic. A violin virtuoso, Etta basically spent her life in isolation mastering her instrument, desperately scraping for her mother’s attention. Living in present day New York, Etta has sacrificed much in pursuit of her musical debut. Though Passenger is told from a dual perspective at the story’s heart is Henrietta, “Etta” Spencer. Think National Treasure meets Indiana Jones meets Pirates of the Caribbean and you come close to the abundance of adventure and feels that is Passenger.
Full of pirates, oh – I’m sorry, I meant privateers, sweeping romance, a lost treasure shrouded in mystery, intrigue, time travel and plenty of action.īasically, Passenger’s plot amounts to a treasure hunt through time itself. And I’m talking riveting of epic, blockbuster proportions. This is a book that gives you an incurable sense of wanderlust because the way that Alex Bracken writes this quest… it’s like we’re actually swept away, unlikely passengers living in the pages of this riveting narrative. Oh my god you guys – I cannot recommend this book enough! But as they get closer to the truth of their search, and the deadly game the Ironwoods are playing, treacherous forces threaten to separate Etta from Nicholas, and her way home, forever. Together, Etta and Nicholas embark on a perilous journey across centuries and continents, piecing together clues left behind by an enigmatic traveller. Now the Ironwoods are searching for a stolen object of untold value one they believe only Etta can find. With the arrival of this unusual passenger on his ship, privateer Nicholas Carter has to confront a past that he can’t escape and the powerful Ironwood family who won’t let him go without a fight.
Pulled back through time to 1776 in the midst of a fierce sea battle, she has travelled not only miles, but years from home. In one devastating night, violin prodigy Etta Spencer loses everything she knows and loves.
