Renegade; From Church to Mosque

Osman Necmi Gürmen transports the reader to the Mediterranean of Suleiman the Magnificent and his pirate/admirals Barbarossa and Turgut Reis: The Renegade is a novel of the Mediterranean pirates from Andalucia to Cyprus, from Algeria to Constantinople, at a time when wars were won or lost at sea. At the same time, it is a tale of two intertwined lives, of fidelity and love. It asks, what is harder; acceptance of a new faith or deliverance from the old one?
