A chance raid by Spaniards affords Blood his opportunity to escape into a life of piracy and crime upon the high seas. But Blood is a pirate with a sense of honor. How Blood distinguishes himself against his enemies, is the tale in this enjoyable historical adventure.

Every Emotion Midst Roaring Battles,
This review is from: Captain Blood (Paperback)
Captain Blood is historically accurate and takes place in the late 1600's. I won't spoil any of this intricately woven story by discussing the outcome or even circumstances of the plot; the storyline is simply too good to meddle with in a review!
I will simply say that Rafael Sabatini is absolute master of the high storytelling that draws the old ones from the hearth and children from play; yet, it is done with such depth, with such intrigue that I was left asking, "what will happen next" all through this novel of every emotion midst roaring battles and human struggle. I, however, still favor Sea Hawk over Captain Blood; for, Sea Hawk, I feel, is his seminal work. I have yet to find an author who excels the writing of Sabatini.

This review is from: Captain Blood (Paperback)
This particular edition is less expensive, but NuBooks printed a summary on the back of it that does not match the story - it's for a completely different book! Would have preferred to spend more for quality and extras.
