Yep, I loved this one. Good old fashioned pirate adventures in the Spanish Main. Recommended.
adventurous emotional medium-paced

awesome! if you like pirates, you'll love this book.

Imagine Breaking Bad but with pirates! Full of adventure and excitement this book should be more well known for those that love swashbuckling tales. This goes a little deeper than Treasure Island and gives more character detail.

An excellent read. I’ve often heard tales of swashbuckling pirate adventure but I find that in the modern day these types of stories are quite rare indeed, with pirates mot really having much modern appeal.

This novel lives up to these tales, presenting an interesting story that while hitting a lot of the expected story beats, it does so in a fascinating and interesting way that makes you unable to expect what shall happen next.

The titular character, Peter Blood is a fascinating man, showing himself not only be a wise and experienced man, but also someone with flaws that very much humanize him that very much enriches the story. The characters in this novel are very well written, from Blood’s crew, to the hateful Bishop.

I have nothing but praises, there is nothing more you could ask for an exciting swashbuckling adventure.

Rousing adventure with a delightfully humorous touch make for a highly enjoyable read.
