Jack is born a slave on Barbados in 1813. He works on the Munroe plantation, where he learns how to operate the sugar machine, and later in the cotton mill where he rises to become the mill engineer. His skills earn him respect and the name Barbados Jack. But will his innate talent as an engineer serve him well, or will it serve him ill? This book is available as an eBook, paperback and audiobook, in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
