5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book.
I started the book and I couldn't put it down. Great read!

Outstanding work truly of the master of a great historical thriller. The actions of the book it occurs in the historical times of corsairs and pirates. In a word, light, captivating to the last page, impregnated with the sea romantic, a little ironic, adventure novel! Thanks to the author...

3.0 out of 5 stars Akunin Sokol e Lastochka
Good attempt to connect romantic pirate times (which probably was not romantic to the people who were directly involved) and modern world. Even negative characters have some good side.
Optimistic and happy ending - good book to read on vacation

Separately it is desirable to note the remarkable formulation of the book! Cover resembles the old and shabby ship periodical! Pages dedicated to adventures by that occurred of 300 years ago, appear very uncommonly, they as if are aged and frayed on the edges, in the ink blots, with the tracks of spilled rum and drops of sea waves. Each page is accompanied by the light pencil figure- sketches.

I loved this book.
