Washington's Pirates: Retribution of the Dead

By Henry M. Landemare

When young Steven Craig and his father receive a Letter of Marque from General Washingtonmaking them his privateers, they have no idea what becoming 'legal pirates' would lead them to.Vengeance and betrayal, murder, kidnappings, and camaraderie with friends for life would unfold as their determined misfit crew of maverick Jersey boys and men begin their career as Washington's pirates fighting to drive the British out.1782, The Paris peace talks drag on as thousands of patriot POW's are starved, tortured and annihilated in the British Hell ships in Brooklyn's Wallabout bay. The pompous British in New York City are livid and have no intentions of going home, so they elect the illegitimate son of Benjamin Franklin, William as their murdering Headmaster.William detests his father for once interfering with the love of his life, and turns traitor- devising a terror plot against the patriot Americans. Receiving money from King George, William underhandedly hires cold-blooded killers out of uniform paying them with orders to-murder, rape, even hang and burn patriot women and their families alive (do anything to create terror among them) with intentions of re-opening the war and ending the Paris talks.And they nearly succeed-But Washington is furious when he discovers their plot, vowing to take an eye for an eye, and sends a secret message to his privateers with his personal orders-burn, capture, or sink any British ships in our waters. 'Give them hell boys- starve them out of New York City, take their ships from the Caribbean with supplies coming up the coast- nip and rip away at their blockade in Sandy Hook- rid us of the bastards!'
