GUBERNATOR - Coming Soon.

What was it like to travel on a first-century cargo ship with neither compass nor clock and only the wind to drive you along? Nineteen-year-old Azor is about to find out.

After his father is sent to prison in the wake of an unpaid debt, Azor becomes the family’s wage-earner. Hoping to earn enough to free his father, he leaves home to pursue opportunities at sea. He has had some experience on his uncle’s fishing boat, but has a lot to learn about life on a huge ship. Lowly, vulgar sailors are not prone to accumulate wealth. But Azor also rubs shoulders with passengers—powerful men and their prisoners who are changing the course of history.

This should be a grand adventure as long as everyone aboard remains in good favor with the gods. But if anyone angers them, disaster will certainly follow. Is there any god Azor can fully trust?

Gubernator (helmsman) is a work of historical fiction in which Henry Youndt presents Biblical events from a novel point of view.
