From one of the best-loved and bestselling authors comes an irresistible tale of swashbuckling pirates in the New World. Jamaica, in 1665 a lone outpost of British power amid Spanish waters in the sun baked Caribbean. Its capital, Port Royal, is the last place imaginable from which to launch an unthinkable attack on a nearby Spanish stronghold. Yet that is exactly what renowned privateer Captain Charles Hunter plans to do, with the support of Charles II's ruling governor, Sir James Almont. Hunter's crew of buccaneers must battle not only the Spanish fleet but other deadly perils – raging hurricanes, cannibal tribes, even sea monsters. But if his ragtag crew succeeds, they will make not only history...but a fortune in gold.
