The brutality of the invaders turns this simple man into a feared killer. Watched over by the last of a mysterious ancient race, he becomes a great warrior who is befriended, loved, and then murdered, by a warlike Queen. As his name and deeds disappear through the mist of time; his genes are re-awakened in Captain Abe, a notorious smuggler and wrecker during the Napoleonic wars. His hate for another hard captain of the sea, brings murder and riches through the capture of a French merchant ship. Chased by the revenue and the French, changes the hate between the two captains to respectful admiration as they fight for the survival of their trade. Mortally wounded by French assassins, Abe is visited by the spirit of Wolf, who guides him on his last voyage. 1943. During this time of war and unnecessary deaths by blunder of many young American soldiers. The finding of Wolf''s bones by a simple quarryman and descendant of Abe''s, threatens to turn known history into turmoil. |
