| Summary | "O'er Many Lands, on Many Seas" by Gordon Stables is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative begins aboard the ship "Niobe", where the characters face various maritime challenges, including the threat of piracy and the struggle against slavery. The protagonist, Niobe Radnor, is significant as he is born at sea during a fierce storm, setting the stage for his adventurous and tumultuous life. The opening of the novel establishes a tense atmosphere aboard the "Niobe" as the ship is caught in a dead calm before a storm, with crew members expressing their unease about the situation. A vivid depiction of the ocean and the ship's struggles leads to the introduction of relevant characters, including the worried captain and an anxious crew. Concurrently, the narrative dives into the emotional depth of the young sergeant, Sandie Radnor, who sits beside his ailing wife, Mary, alluding to a backstory of love and loss. As the storm erupts and tragedy unfolds, we see the impact of such turmoil on both the ship and its passengers, foreshadowing profound themes of survival and sacrifice in the unfolding tale.
