4.0 out of 5 stars
Among Sabatini's best.,
This review is from: The Black Swan (Hardcover)
The Black Swan (1932) is among the author's later works, not the best, but certainly among his better novels. Although perhaps more sophisticated and better written than his earlier and more popular works, The Black Swan also lacks much of the swashbuckling action and intricate plot twists that made Sabatini a household name in the 1920s. Oddly for a pirate novel, most of the story takes place on an isolated Caribbean isle, where the hero and villain try to outwit each other. The ending is a surprise, however, and there are no slow spots throughout. Sabatini is particularly good at bringing historical figures to life, and his portrait of Sir Henry Morgan, buccaneer turned colonial governor, is no exception. A recommended, easy and thoroughly enjoyable read.
