?My true name is Owen Martin but I have also been known as Long Time Walking, Boston John, Jack Walker and Black Jack Nobody.? This is a fast paced novel of hope, betrayal, love, exile and revenge. Played out on a global stage in the closing years of the 19th Century, it tells the story of young Devon ?prentice boy Owen Martin who dreams of travelling to China. Initially employed by the eccentric Lord Wessington, who searches for hidden, secret worlds, Owen is unwittingly launched on an epic journey across oceans and continents. On his way he encounters an array of characters and situations including a would be preacher with a dark secret, a private detective intent on framing him for a crime he did not commit, a band of Red Indians caught between two worlds, the seedy underbelly of San Francisco?s opium dens and gang warfare on the streets of Shanghai: a series of encounters that change him and how he sees the world forever.
