This month we begin a brand new feature to promote our Signature Authors. Instead of the computer background each month, we're going to promote the featured Signature author's story with an ad banner that will run in Stories. I'm also adding a banner that works for personal signatures on the site for the authors and their fans to use to help promote their feature! This month, we start off with C James!

Length: 1,082,090

 

Description: Trevor, through little fault of his own, finds himself with few choices. Desperate and hunted, he decides that his best chance is to head out to sea on his boat, for a circumnavigation of the Earth. His boat, Atlantis, is a fifty-five foot cruising catamaran, bequeathed to him by his mother prior to her mysterious disappearance. Come along for the ride and explore with Trevor, as he discovers many things, not the least of which is himself.

 

Story Reviews:
Jess 30519 says... What an amazing adventure! What a great story! It is wonderful how you have managed to maintain the pace and energy throughout all 158 chapters. And I cannot imagine how many hours you must have spent in researching so many details, scientific, geographic, nautical and all the other aspects that make this such a compelling piece of writing. I have been a sailor all of my life, owning and chartering mostly monohulls but an occasional multihull, and at no time while reading "Circumnavigation" did I encounter a wrong note or false premise. Amazing!

 

Thank you so very much for writing this story! I thoroughly enjoyed it and am kicking myself for putting off reading it for so long, but I'm glad I did wait for a time when I was able to enjoy it properly. Thanks again!

 

Miles Long says... I had to thank you C James one last time for such a thrilling adventure ride. This was my second read, I enjoyed it so much the first time I couldn't stop to comment (it was too damn compelling) but I promised myself that I would go back, because a story this well thought out and researched deserves reviews aplenty and all the likes GA will allow me :lol:. Thanks again to you and your team. :2thumbs:

 

Melethen says... I am terribly sorry it took me so long to read this wonderful, suspense filled story. For several months I have been addicted to it and finally finished it today!

 

Thanks for spinning this tale and sharing it with us. I know I am rather late since the story was written several years ago, but for some reason I put off reading it until now,
I really can't thank you enough. :worship:

 

NK says... I have read, and re-read all of your stories. I have enjoyed each one, but Circumnavigation is the best (in my not so humble opinion). I hope that you will continue to write, so that your readers can continue to enjoy your work!!

 

Sandrewn says... CJames
From the beginning to the end. Thank you ever so much.

Great story! One of the first ones I read when I came to GA. I'll admit one of the characters frustrated me to no end, and I kept hoping she'd be killed off. The suspense had me staying up later that planned a few nights, so I could read more. The descriptions of places visited left me wanting to pack my bags. Anyone who's spent anytime aboard a sailboat will fall in love with Trevor's adventures.

Er...the length is wrong. You've listed the views, not the words.

 

I did wonder when I saw that number...

I've read Circumnavigation too, and it's EPIC !

This story was a wondrous ordeal for me. It put me through the wringer, and I went gladly. I have so much respect for the supreme effort it must have taken. I would love to make another comment, but it would be a spoiler. I bow to the writer of such a tremendous work.

Definitely one of the Greatest feats of GA writing, it will take you several months to go through it, so if you are like me and stuck in the snowbound in the winter, open it up and grab some hot cocoa.

Several months?? Don't we want everyone to read it by the weekend and do a book report :P

 

This story is definitely a ride. One of my favourite CJames stories. The fact that CJ posted this story weekly over what I believe was over 3 years, is a testament of the dedication he put into this story. Definitely worth every moment spent reading it.

I agree that this epic rang true as a sailor and in every other way. 

 

Wish this attention would bring the Goat back to the herd.

It would be so cool to meet him :) I've already read Circumnavigation and I've become a fan of his.
