Buccaneer

By Dudley Pope

Book Overview

It is the 1650's and Spain considers the Caribbean to be its own private sea. But England, Holland and France conspire to battle for freedom on the oceans set in days littered with the plunder of piracy. Ned Yorke, a loyal Royalist living in Barbados has a small vessel and devoted crew and together they sail, hunted by Roundheads and Spaniards, determined to pay whatever the price for freedom from tyranny. What transpires is a colourful, dramatic retelling of historical events surrounding the capture of Jamaica and the infamous raid on Santiago.

Customer Reviews

Good introduction to the Genre

I really enjoyed this book which I beleive is the first in a series. I had never read a (Pirate) novel and enjoyed the Barbados setting.
