Listen to a brief introduction to the book

A glorious, epic ride that you’ll wish didn’t have to end. O’Hagan’s writing brings the giants of adventure literature to mind, like Victor Hugo in “Les Miserables,” and Alexandre Dumas’ in “The Count of Monte Cristo.” This is story telling at its finest.
— Pail Harmon, Artist

“Big and brash…a powerful and dazzling blend of swashbuckling heroics, tender romance, fascinating characters and heart-stopping action that is deeply moving (occasionally hilarious) and relentlessly entertaining.”
— BookQuest
Passage to Moorea takes the historical fiction / action adventure genre to new heights. From unstoppable action to superb character development, fantastic location descriptions, an engrossing and unforgettable story, and, of course, Scoundrel’s signature gourmet food and wine, this book delivers an exhilarating experience for readers.
— – GOODREADS
“Passage to Moorea is a thoroughly engrossing, action-packed wild ride…an edge-of-your-seat thriller read that crafts a “you are here” experience that pulls you deep into the world of 19th century fine art in the company of trained assassins, villainous art dealers, Tahitian warriors, American robber barons, and a host of unforgettable characters.”
— Midwest Book Review
