Rating:  Summary: Perfect adventure story Review: Mr Goddard's novel begins in January 1721. Sir Theodore Janssen, once a financier of legendary acumen, stands on the brink of ruin after the bankruptcy of the South Sea Company.
William Spandrel is also a financial victim of the commercial disaster of the South Sea Company, though on a smaller scale than Sir Theodore. Still, Spandrel owes Sir Theodore a fair amount of money. One day, Spandrel is summoned to go and see Sir Theodore. He offers Spandrel to pay back his debts by acting as his personal courier in a confidential transaction. Spandrel is to deliver a box to Mijnheer Ysbrand de Vried at his home in Amsterdam. As Spandrel departs from Deptford for Holvoetsluys on the "Vixen", he can't possibly foresee on what a roller coaster journey he has embarked.
As always, Mr Goddard's novel provides first class entertainment with a very well documented historical adventure story. And Paul Shelly reading "Sea Change" is quite an experience to listen to!

Rating:  Summary: The never ending race Review: this book is a never ending race after a "Green Book" that can reveal some of the most darken secrets of the South Sea Company...
i was a bit dissaponting from reading it and was expecting another of Goddard's master pieces, but unfortunatly this book was very tiring and exhausting.
