The first unpublished novel from the historical fiction legend, George Macdonald Fraser, featuring the unscrupulous and brilliantly entertaining pirate, Calico Jack Rackham.
New Providence, The Bahamas.
When notorious pirate Captain 'Calico' Jack Rackham turns up from the high seas at the Governor's residence to ask for a royal pardon in order to marry his former sweetheart, the Governor has deceitful plans of his own. Their agreement sets off an adventure of betrayals, counter-betrayals, plots and escapes that see Rackham join forces with the scheming but seductively beautiful pirate, Miss Anne Bonney.
A brilliant and spirited swashbuckler of a novel, this is a real treat for George MacDonald Fraser fans. The unscrupulous Captain Rackham is pure delight, and shows the author's talent for scoundrels, which he later perfected in the character of Harry Flashman.
