Book Description

Publication Date: April 2009 | Series: Charnwood

Sailing across the Caribbean, Hector Lynch falls into the hands of the notorious buccaneer, Captain John Coxon. Hector’s two friends, Dan and Jacques, are released when Coxon mistakes Hector as the nephew of Sir Thomas Lynch—the Governor of Jamaica—an error that Hector encourages. Coxon delivers Hector to Sir Henry Morgan, a bitter enemy of Governor Lynch. The captain is expecting to curry favour with Henry Morgan but is publicly humiliated at a Christmas ball. From then on, Coxon seeks to revenge himself on Hector and the young seafarer finds himself on the run again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very readable - loses its way a little, December 7, 2009

This review is from: Buccaneer: The Adventures of Hector Lynch, Pirate (Paperback)

I should say first off - I didn't read Corsair first but wish that I had.
That said, this is an interesting read, good for history, pirate and adventure lovers like me who are interesting in a good tale, well told, with sufficient regard to historicity.
The story does sort of lose its way and meanders a little but still very likeable.
