Great audio book by BJ Harrison. Really good, fun story. I liked it much better than the Count of Monte Cristo.

Classic pirate adventure novel, written in 1922 and set in the late 1680s. There is therefore a good deal of racism and sexism. Otherwise good fun, though tending towards ship battles and town raids rather than swashbuckling duels. Was adapted into a film of the same name, with Errol Flynn taking the role of Mr Peter Blood, a man of apparently limitless talents. Like Scaramouche, the romance was distinctly underwhelming, but it had a focus on inter-empire conflict, which sadly seems to fall out of style in later pirate stories. Tim Powers' On Stranger Tides has it beat for piratical shenanigans, I think, and as old adventure books go the earlier The Prisoner of Zenda is much more enjoyable.

Decent adventure book for its time. Some fun adventures, some stuff that doesn’t age super well.
