The Sea of Free Men

Struggling to forget a past of lies and fleeing from himself, Cristophe Marchand crosses the seas as a soldier in Napoleon Bonaparte's army. Once the French imperial expeditions are over, Cristophe becomes a corsair, a shipwreck victim, a westerner adopted by natives and a husband to a young woman from the tribe.

Later, he returns to his village to work in the biscuit business he started out in when he was a child. But the eternal hatred of Alexandre Basset will not let up and Cristophe must face up to his past with the woman he never forgot and the rising of a hungry people seeking justice.
