About This Book

An aging buccaneer, Sir Henry Morgan, returns to the sea, gathers a crew and commands the frigate Mary Rose in daring attacks on Spanish treasure ships and a captured galleon; the narrative interweaves vigorous sea action with a parallel romance between a Spanish gentleman, Alvarado, and Mercedes, while tracing Morgan's blend of tactical ability, ferocity, treachery, and ultimate undoing, and examining themes of violence, leadership, greed, and retribution across episodic adventures on the Spanish Main.
