A Company of Moors

by Justin Thomas

North Africa, 1640. Welcome to al-Mari Ifriq, a small city dreaming of its borders to reach the coast. Its dusty, unpaved roads and small districts set the unofficial borders, providing reminders of the minor squabbles initiated by surrounding maritime companies that vie for control of each other, the city, and the entire region of Odongo-Mauharim. Thus sets the grand African tale of Moorish Company Bosses, corsairs, and kingdoms involved in all manner of legitimate and illicit politics. Join the adventure of three African states. The first, a city ruled by corsair politics. The second, a Kingdom on the brink of war. The last, a nomadic nation marked by Europeans for enslavement. Corsairs. Revolutionary warriors. Merchants, slavers, and gangsters. Join the Company.

About the author

I'm from a small town in Upstate New York called Niskayuna, located in the city of Schenectady. At an early age, I was given a typewriter for my birthday, started writing, and have been documenting his imagination ever since. Writing throughout all of grade school and college, my efforts and dedication to the craft paid off when I was finally published in 2000 with THE RONIN POETZ. Now, The Ghost of Gabriel's Horn is my fifth published work, having previously penned an epic poem, a book of 12 short stories, a quirky novel about a heist, and a novel of historical fiction. I currently resides in Brooklyn, New York working as an editor and proofreader.
