When a mysterious sphere of light appears during a routine naval exercise in the South Pacific, four officers from the USS Drake and HMS Drake are torn from everything they know. They wake on an empty beach in Aotearoa-not the New Zealand of the modern world, but the primeval land of the 1200s, where moa still roam the forests and Haast's eagles rule the skies.
Where the old gods still walk.
Lieutenant Jacob Mansury has built his career on control. Lieutenant Thomas Flayer trusts logic above all else. Petty Officer Robert Southerly hides his fear behind humor. Able Seaman Samuel Wrexley has never let anyone carry his weight.
Now, stranded eight centuries before their birth, they must survive a fourteen-day journey through sacred lands-guided and judged by Māori gods who test not strength, but spirit.
Four trials await:- The Forest, where patience matters more than action
- The Fire, where endurance means facing what you've hidden
- The Earth, where trust becomes the only path forward
- The Self, where each man must confront who he's been-and choose who he'll become
To return home, they must pass every test. But the gods don't grade on effort. They judge transformation.
Tales of Pacific Gods and Sailors is a mythic survival novel that blends military fiction with Polynesian mythology. It's a story about four ordinary men pushed beyond their limits-not by violence, but by the quiet, relentless demand to become something more than they were.
For readers who loved the survival elements of The Martian, the mythic weight of American Gods, and the transformation of The Way of Kings.
Includes a glossary of Māori terms with pronunciation guide.
