Set in the nineteenth century, World Odyssey (The World Duology, #1) follows the fortunes of three young travelers as each embarks on an epic journey. Their dramatic adventures span sixteen years and see them engage with Native American Indians, Barbary Coast pirates, Aborigines, Maoris and Pacific Islanders as they travel around the world - from America to Africa, from England to the Canary Islands, to Australia, New Zealand and Samoa.
Ambitious American adventurer Nathan Johnson's journey begins when he runs away to sea to escape a violent father. After surviving a shipwreck and enslavement by one of the indigenous tribes of America's northwest, his stocks rise and he becomes a successful trader. When Nathan decides to visit Fiji to trade muskets to the natives, he doesn't know it but his fortunes are about to change again.
Sheltered English missionary Susannah Drake's journey begins after she agrees to accompany her clergyman father to Fiji to help him run a mission station there. They endure a nightmare voyage they're lucky to survive. When Susannah finds herself sexually attracted to a young crewmember, she is forced to choose between her forbidden desires and the life her father has mapped out for her.
Irrepressible Cockney Jack Halliday's journey begins when he steals hemp from an unscrupulous employer who owes him outstanding wages. For this he's sentenced to seven years' hard labor in the British penal colony of New South Wales. Jack escapes to Fiji only to be tracked down by a bounty hunter employed by the British Government to round up escaped convicts.
After traveling thousands of miles and experiencing the best and worst that life can offer, these three disparate individuals eventually end up in the remote archipelago of Fiji, in the South Pacific, where their lives intersect.
Written by father-and-son writing team Lance & James Morcan (authors of Fiji A Novel and The Orphan Trilogy), World Odyssey is an historical adventure published by Sterling Gate Books.

World Osyssey: Book One in the World Duology is by Lance and James Morcan. This novel takes one from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to the Northwest territory of Oregon; from Kensington in London, England to New Zealand; and from London, England to the penal colony in Australia to New Zealand. Three characters, Nathan Johnson, Susannah Drake, and Jack Halliday, leave their homes to make a new home in the Fiji Islands. Little do they know that their paths will cross in that new land.Nathan Johnson is the son of a sea captain. His father was a brutal and seemingly uncaring man who continually harassed Nathan to shape up and meet his standards. Nathan never could and ended up running away from home. His first job on a ship was for his uncle (his mother’s brother) who traded along the west coast of the United States. Nathan’s first voyage was to be very unlucky as he was the only survivor of his ship which went down in a storm. Nathan was taken into the Makah tribe first as a slave and then as a son to the chief. Over the years, Nathan only wanted one thing, to escape. When the time came, he managed to escape and then continue his adventures which would take him to the Fuji Islands.
Susannah Drake is the daughter of a minister who is called to be a missionary in Fuji. She cajoles her father into taking her with him. Reluctantly, he agrees. The ocean voyage is very taxing. Boredom, seasickness, death, pirates, wounded father, all combine to make her voyage exciting. What will she find when they reach their destination?
Jack Halliday is forced to go to work early to help his family survive in London. Jack works for a blacksmith and works long and hard hours. He is owed some overtime but the owner refuses to pay him. Jack breaks into the offices one night and takes some hemp for his back pay. He is caught and sentenced to years in the penal colony in Australia. He escapes and ends up in New Zealand. He has a native wife and four children and is a trader. What will he find when he goes into the inland in search of plantation owners to buy the rights to cutting trees?

World Odyssey The World Duology Volume 1 Lance Morcan James Morcan Books Reviews
GREAT. ABSOLUTELY GREAT! LOVED IT. WOW !
I love how the Authors blend the characters around each other. A very entertaining story and well written as always.
An entailing an descriptive book hard to put down absolutely on of my best reads
I have read this book with pleasure. Let that be clear. But in my opinion everything remains too much at the surface. This epic book describes two to three decades in the lives of three very different people, who end up at the same place eventually. This is an interesting idea, but the events are too great and too much for one book. Maybe it would have been better to work out all this in three books. There are so many events in the lives of the leading characters and so many misfortunes during their travels! Because everything is written in one book, even the most serious problems are solved in just a few pages. The psychology of the main characters could also have been worked in more detail. This having been said, my rating is three stars. It is a good read, but to me a bit too "smooth.
This is the 1st book in the series.. 2nd is Fiji... same feeling in reviewing.. Easy to read, rather enjoyable but too much "love drama" and happily ever after.
Really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the 2nd book - Fiji. It just so happens that my wife and I got married in Suva and honeymooned in Fiji on a coconut plantation 30+ years ago. This book was filled with excitement, romance, adventure, sailing vessels, and so much more, so know that the 2nd book will pick up and provide more of the same!
This is a stirring exciting novel about three people from different places and social standing whose lives eventually become entangled on the Fugi Islands. I was intrigued by the deft plotting of the writers--sketching the lives of the three, Nathan, Susanna, and Jack as they go through life's trials and tribulations over three decades. Their lives are filled with brutal and pious fathers, pirates, indians, shipwrecks, battles, cutlasses, muskets and tomahawks. Their adventures take them from Philadelphia, Pa. to the Northwest Territory of Oregon, and from London, England to New Zealand among other places mentioned.The descriptive writing--the scenery, the sights, sounds and smells are rendered realistically and the characters are three dimensional. I felt as if I knew them. They eventually end up on the Fugi Islands. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. This one was a real page-turner.
