A young Irish physician is unjustly condemned for tending a wounded rebel and sold into slavery on a Caribbean plantation. Fate and his own daring soon carry him out to the open sea, where a doctor learns to command a ship. The founding adventure of Sabatini's most famous hero.

A set of linked tales from the pirate captain's Caribbean voyages, told as if drawn from the log of his young shipmate. Each episode is a fresh scrape - a rescue, a ruse, a duel of wits with rival captains and colonial governors. Adventure served in short, salty helpings.

More adventures from the golden years of the gentleman pirate, roving the Spanish Main in search of fortune and fair play. New ports, fresh foes and old scores draw Blood into schemes that test his cunning as much as his sword. Sabatini's swashbuckling hero at full sail once more.
