Mungo St. John, AKA Sinclair, reveals his true character by never redeeming his early choice to work on a ship destined to Africa to load slaves for America.
He does not recoil from the hateful brutality, murders, and horror despite that Camilla, the true love of his life, was a slave owned by his father and originally intended to be inherited by him. For some inexplicable reason, revenge overpowers any compassion for the people of Africa.
From the start, the plot builds evil upon evil and undermines any hope for redemption or balance. Mungo's old Cambridge adversary, Fairchild, turns out to be the hero of the story. Having not read any of the other Mungo books, I have no idea if Fairchild figures in as challenger.
Very disappointing.
