Publisher, Monterey Soundworks (August 2002)

"Monterey SoundWorks is rapidly filling a niche in the market that bodes excitement and richness for listeners and success for themselves." --Independent Publisher

Hoodwinked by a villainous Uncle and swept away into slavery aboard a ship bound for the Americas, a young man embarks on one of literature’s great adventures. Befriended by a Scottish soldier running from the British crown, they fight off the ship’s crew and escape, only to be accused of murder. Forced to flee across the Scottish countryside, their dangerous journey becomes one in which a boy becomes a man, learning the meaning of loyalty, friendship, and honor.

Faithful in adaptation to the source literature, Monterey SoundWorks was founded on the principal that a full scale audio dramatization using multiple actors, original music scores and digital sound effects created a full entertainment experience for the listener in a manner that can never be achieved by a single voice narration in a typical books-on-tape production.
