Amazon.com description: Product Description: Adventure/SuspenseLarge Print EditionWill be relished by those who enjoy swashbuckling tales with nonstop action. Publishers Weekly* A New York Times BestsellerThe year is 1667; Sir Francis Courteney and his son Hal are on patrol in their fighting caravel off of South Africa, lying in wait for the treasure-laden galleons of the Dutch East India Company returning from the Orient. Its a time when international maritime law permitted acts of piracy, rape and murder otherwise punishable by death. Here bestselling author Wilbur Smith recreates the part of the Courteneys in the struggle for supremacy and riches on the high seas in a tale crackling with tension and drama. A masterpiece from a storyteller at the height of his considerable powers.
