The fourth thrilling novel by Tim Severin in the swashbuckling Pirate series
As Hector Lynch is diving for Spanish plunder in the sparkling waters of the Caribbean, he and his companions are captured by a French ship. Trying desperately to make their escape, they are shipwrecked on a tiny island near Jamaica.
Hector's wife is waiting for him in Tortuga, and as he knows he has to somehow make his way back to her; meanwhile she decides to undertake the hazardous journey to find him.
As Hector's voyages continue, he soon finds himself on the run across the high seas, accused of piracy... Tim Severin, explorer, filmmaker, and lecturer, has retraced the storied journeys of Saint Brendan the Navigator, Sindbad the Sailor, Jason and the Argonauts, Ulysses, Genghis Khan and Robinson Crusoe. His books about these expeditions are classics of exploration and travel. He made his historical fiction debut with the hugely successful Viking series, followed by the Pirate and Saxon series. This novel returns to the Pirate series, and the world of Hector Lynch. www.timseverin.net
