About the book: 2006 / In the late autumn of 1577, the ship "Galant" left Plymouth harbor, carrying three friends into the vastness of the endless ocean - the ship's surgeon Vitus, the “indestructible weed” of the Master and the resilient Enano. Left behind is England, a home where they love and wait; ahead is a dangerous journey to the shores of the New World in the hope of finding Arletta. Like Orpheus, Vitus is ready to follow his beloved even to the underworld, but who knows what “torments of hell” fate has prepared for him?.. However, while a friend’s hand lies on your shoulder, why not dare and fight with death - and then we’ll see, who wins.
