About this ebook
"There’s pirates in the West Indies. Cannibals. They cook you alive," says Mr. Spencer to his son. These words will come to haunt 17-year-old John as he embarks on his first voyage to foreign lands. Carrying cargo destined for Jamaica, John and his crew of the Dragon set off for waters few of them have sailed before. So when they come upon a lifeboat adrift at sea, some are wary of the sailor aboard. Something about his story doesn’t quite make sense. Still, John respects the stranger’s awe-inspiring seamanship. With Horn on deck, he feels the Dragon is in the best of hands.
But is Horn to be trusted? The answer becomes muddled as the Dragon encounters a very real — and very dangerous — pirate ship. Now John starts to believe his father’s warnings, especially after he becomes stranded on an island reputed to have buried treasure. A place teeming with buccaneers!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5These books are contemporary with the Hornblower novels, but a good deal less technical, The descriptions of the ocean and seafaring are vivid. Captain Butterfield is capable of great, unbelievable, stupidity. There was a certain comedy in the ineptness of the gunner and the helmsman, and the fact that only one person on the ship knew how to navigate. But that may very well have been par for the course with small merchantmen of that time.
