Praise
“A rousing account . . . vivid and hair-raising . . . a fine mix of . . . hard-headed history and a richly evoked atmosphere, with its murderous characters, exotic locations and fabulous cargoes of treasure.”—The Sunday Times (U.K.)
“The true story of the rise and fall of the pirates of the Caribbean makes for a tale more interesting and surprising than the legends themselves. . . . Woodes Rogers’ resolute actions . . . proved a defining step in the campaign against the pirates, inspiring the fight-back against men like Blackbeard, Calico Jack and Bartholomew Roberts.”—Historic Naval Fiction
“An excellent primer in the barnacle-infested field of piratology.”—Booklist
“A colourful and rollicking biography.”—The Express (U.K.)
