In 1804, Liverpool was the largest slave trading port in Great Britain, yet her influential traders felt threatened by the success, in Parliament, of the anti-slavery movement. Few, in Liverpool, condemned the 'Trade'. William King, son of a Liverpool trader, is sickened by what he experiences aboard a Spanish slaver, and dares to speak out against the Trade. This epic, set during the dying days of this despicable practice, has generational change, moral wickedness, greed, romance and the fortunes of war woven through the lives of a father and son caught up in the turmoil that preceded the implementation of the British Trade Act of 1807, which would end Britain's involvement in the slave trade.

Ice King
William's father, George King, has built a moderately successful shipping business but when he declines William's request to captain one of his ships William leaves and joins the Navy. While he is at sea George King is lured into the slave trading business which is highly profitable. When William returns and hears of his father's exploits he is determined to show him that a profit can be made in the shipping industry without human suffering.
Ice King, also known as Triangle Trade, is a rollicking tale of trade on the high seas during the early nineteenth century.
I was immediately drawn into the world of William King. William was a gentleman in a time when it was ok for men to be harsh and crude. It was good to see the stark contrast in character of siblings Henry and Charlotte Nicholson to that of William King and Ruth Judson. Woodland gives you characters to despise and characters to root for.
This story is full of adventure, family, humour, friendship, rivalries a few sword fights and a breath holding duel to the death.
I would recommend Ice King (Triangle Trade) to anyone who enjoys a good historical adventure.
