- Tales of an Admirable Adventurer is a swashbuckling tale of the highest order, following Knivet`s escapades in South America during the 1590s. Desperate to prove his worth to his father & his betrothed, he embarks with Thomas Cavendish on the explorer`s ill-fated circumnavigation of the globe. Portuguese colonists want to hang him as a heretic & cannibals wait in the jungle with a hankering for his flesh, but Knivet is determined to carve a name for himself in this brave New World, despite the bizarre, unsavoury & sometimes just plain evil characters that stand in his way. Whether acting as interpreter elect for the sadistic Cavendish; confidant to the devout but dangerous Governor of Rio de Janeiro; or the guide upon which the entire Portuguese army comes to depend, Knivet single-mindedly strives for the recognition he believes he is due. Finally, deep in the Brazilian jungle, he does find his calling: inciting the tribes to unite, rise up against their Portuguese oppressors & thus change the history of Brazil forever. Inspired by the true story of Anthony Knivet`s 16th century expeditions through South America, Roebuck is a thrilling historical adventure & the stunning debut novel from celebrated travel writer Luke Waterson.
