5.0 out of 5 stars A light shines on a dark period in American history. August 12, 2011

By P. Elliott

Format:Kindle Edition

Patrick is incarcerated in London, for debts incurred nursing his sick father. Times are so desperate his best option is transportation to America to be sold into what is slavery- by another-name.
Patrick arrives in Savannah and is bought by a blacksmith of Scottish decent, who has secret sympathies with his indentures plight. The residents of Savannah live under a rule of cruelty and abuse, dealt out by the governing English soldiers, or lobster-backs - because of their redcoats. An underworld is created by decent men who dream of liberty and freedom...and so the real adventure begins.

`Pirates of Savannah' is an exciting, illuminating and rewarding read. I opened the book knowing less-than-nothing about early American history and felt ill equipped to understand it, but the skilful words of the author, rapidly supplied the background to this gripping book.
I was touched by the plight of good men imprisoned by an unjust government and the institutional cruelty made their secret rebellion all the more poignant. But `Pirates of the Savannah' is not a preachy book, it is primarily an adventure story of men trying to survive in harsh times. Mr Lupo's words create a wonderful kaleidoscope of people from Redcoats to pirates, wives and daughters to whores, native Indians to Jews and certainly opened my eyes to the fledgling origins of liberty in America.
Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars History and Freedom and Pirates January 1, 2011

By Kyle Bennett

Format:Paperback

Honestly, I could point out some editing lapses, but in the realm of self-publishing that goes with the territory, and it doesn't take away from the story at all. It's got action, good characters, hot sex, pirates, and a message of simple, personal freedom. The descriptions of 18th century life and technology make it worth the read almost by themselves. One can see the American Revolution looming over the horizon, but not imminent enough to be part of the story line in itself, just close enough to add a little color.

We see traditional and historic outcasts, ne'er do wells, and hostile natives in a different light. That light might be a little too bright in a few cases, whitewashing some blemishes, but for the most part it makes them human and decent without turning them into caricatures. Their goals are our goals, to live our lives our own way, trade fairly and honestly, and to be left alone by the predators in uniforms of all colors of the rainbow. The enemies are human as well, both those truly and irredeemably evil and those who are merely weak in character, avaricious, and base.

The sex, violence, and grubby filth of the era border on graphic, but none of it comes off crass or gratuitious. It all feels realistic and vivid. It moves the plot along at a lively pace, as does just about every scene. I had trouble putting it down, even after I was finished. Even the appendix documenting what places, events, and characters were truly historic and those that were literary props was fascinating to a history buff like me.

5.0 out of 5 stars History, Love, Greed, Slavery....great read August 10, 2011

By Marie Wagner

Format:Kindle Edition

Based in the 1700's, life in England. Details how a few men were able to leave prison on a ship bound for America. The men find out they are indentured servants for at least 5 years after stepping foot on US soil.....the author brings the characters and surrounding info come to life. He will include things one would not even think about, smells, sanitary conditions, etc of the time.

There are some plot twists I did not expect so I don't want to write them here. If you enjoy history in 1700's America, stories of immigrants and what life would have been like you will certainly enjoy reading this book.

I found it very interesting, kept my interest all the way though. Interesting how the author ends the books with facts/fiction per chapter.

Explicit language and situations, not for under 18 years of age.
