Ratings and reviews

Great swashbuckling adventure from the master. Not as detailed as some of his other masterpieces, but definitely a fun summer read. Arghhhhh!

An enjoyable yarn but nothing to exceptional and certainly felt rushed in many places. Some nice historical facts and descriptions of life in the era but so much wasted potential

This book, while slow to start off, is well put together. It captures the mind and throws you into another reality that many feared to live . 5 stars.
