Description
Mountains Of The Sea is

volatile moods of an historic Hawaiian ocean culture where Walter
Beaumont comes face to face with political intrigue, war, and the most
enigmatic experience for an English aristocrat—that of riding the giant
swells of Hawai’i.
Praise and Reviews
“Rarely does a historical novel capture the vernacular, imagery and excitement of an entire era like Gunter Swoboda’s Mountains Of The Sea.
As a surfer, historian and working professional, Gunter has
successfully synthesized his career, his chosen sport and his passion
for adventure and writing into an engaging story of murder, intrigue,
high-seas adventure, friendship and, ultimately, love. From its opening
pages, Mountains Of The Sea ably transports the reader
from the lofty realms of European aristocrats into the colorful, exotic
and sometimes dangerous life of an intrepid foreigner in the Pacific
Islands at the point of pre-colonial European contact. This is a novel
that reads as both entertaining and educational. Extraordinary and
masterful writing from a potent new voice in modern literature.”—Tom Kamaki Linker, B.ED., M.APurchases
