A Captive in Algiers by AJ Lewis sounds like an intriguing book about Ettore and his friends who are sold to slavery by ruthless pirates. I was quite fascinated reading the Preface and about the author finding a key link to his ancestral past. I have added the book to my reading list. Congratulations on the BOTD!
