Jonathan M. Bryant
The 1820 Great Fire of Savannah
"The Slaver’s Apprentice is a haunting, thoroughly engrossing novel of the 19th-century Atlantic. Through the eyes of Malachi MacKay, Jonathan M. Bryant delivers a powerful indictment of the slave trade that is as historically meticulous as it is emotionally devastating.”
—Kevin Powers. Pen/Hemingway Award winner and Nationa Book Award Finalist.
A marvelous job transitioning from academic to storyteller. The pacing is superb, the plot unfolds seamlessly, the characters are well developed, it just all feels so whole."
--Susan E. O'Donovan, winner of the James A. Rawley Prize for history.
Bryant holds both a J.D. and a Ph.D, and brings his strong academic background to creating convincing historical fiction.
