The review of this Book prepared by Tim Fletcher
Smith has written a swashbuckling epic adventure of pirates, revenge and romance. Hal Courtney and his father, Francis Courtney prey upon Dutch ships for England until they are betrayed by a greedy rival and are caputured by the Dutch. Francis is executed and Hal escapes and swears vengeance upon his enemies. This novel has vivid scenes of bloody sea battles, romantic interludes and beautiful descriptions of africa and Dutch Indies. It also has heroes to root for and hissable villians!
