Son of a Sailor: A Cozy Pirate Tale

By: Moore, Marshall J.

Book Overview

A pirate tale about home and the family you make for yourself.

Captain Redbeard is the most wanted pirate ever to sail the Eight Seas. But to the folk of his sleepy island hometown, Captain Redbeard is no more than a distant legend. To them, he's just Quint Thatch - the tavernkeepers' son.

When tragic news calls him home, Quint hides his pirate identity (and loses his beard) to reconnect with his formidable Ma and childhood friends. As he processes his grief, Quint learns that the bonds of home are as strong as those tying him to his crewmates.

But when Quint's pirate crew and a ghost from his past sail into town, both halves of his life are thrown into jeopardy. Will he have to choose between his home and his crew, or can Quint find a way to reconcile the two sides of his identity and save them both?

Cozy at Sea, great beach read

I heard Marshall speak at an event and his book sounded up my alley. I devoured it in one weekend (at the beach!). I was pleasantly surprised by the cozy feel, descriptions of Quint's hometown hit all the right nostalgia notes. Some light pirate violence and minor romance, nothing you couldn't read with a middle aged reader, but not immature at all.
