“I counted fifteen dead men working the deck of the Kingston. Well, they weren’t dead yet, but the day was young, and I had a full belt of shot.”

What a fantastic way to start a book. As soon as I read this, I knew that I was going to love this book and I was right, having stayed up till the wee hours to read it. It was fast-paced for the most part and drew you along with a wonderful sense of adventure, banter and high stakes. A rip-roaring Pirate adventure, with a dash of romance and a high level of historical realism, that had more than a few twists in the tale. I was kept on my toes the whole way through and found myself holding my breath at points due to the weight of what was at stake. I honestly can’t recommend this book highly enough.
