Review
"Told with skill and authority. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN whets the appetite. Linda Donahue's novella satisfies it." --Mike Resnick
A fantastic tale of dark deeds and darker gods, a salmagundi of Caribbean piracy and Mesoamerican magic in the tradition of Tim Powers' On Stranger Tides. History meets mythology as privateer Captain Henry Morgan, Morgan the Terrible, sets out on a daring raid on Panama - and falls foul of giant crocodiles and the bloodthirsty denizens of the Mayan underworld. --Stephen Dedman, author of Shadows Bite
A fresh, fun read. Linda Donahue's blends fantasy and history seamlessly, creating an entertaining romp through a world both strange and familiar. --Canadian author Paul Chafe

History is fun,

This review is from: A Man, A Plan, (yet lacking) A Canal, Panama (Paperback)
Linda Donahue has done a marvelous job of mixing history, historical fiction, and a dose of the supernatural into a fine, fun read. This book, about Henry Morgan's raid on Panama City is obviously well-researched, although Donahue does not call attention to it. This, alone, is worth extra points to me. Added to which she has captured the flavor of the time and given us a bit of added twist, all of which makes a very fine book. I enjoyed it and I recommend it.
