In addition to a focus on life at sea doing the bidding of the French king, the story also includes a mission to the New World, where he battles the Chickasaws. Guy’s determination for success continues as he moves up through the ranks.
Another engaging component is the relationship between Guy and Marie, his childhood friend. Their stories are intertwined by an unbreakable bond in spite of the years passing by.
On Waves of Glory shines in the effort to raise awareness of this incredibly talented man and those around him.
