Book Description
Pirates, slaves and voodoo follow Mobutu, an African chieftain, into the darkness of the 17th century Triangular Trade slave route. Lucrative agreements are made with Edward Colston, a member of British Parliament and a slave trader. Packed away in the hold of Colston's ship, slaves are to be traded in the Caribbean islands. Then catastrophe hits Port Royal, Jamaica in 1692. Pandemonium, witchcraft, and death await those trapped in the 'wickedest city on earth.' At the center of the story is Mobutu, an African chieftain who exchanges his tribesmen for personal wealth and power---and trades his soul to reign on the high seas as Black Caesar. Mobutu's son Mobu, the African lovers of Wyla and Jabari, and Gina Nanny, wise healer and leader of outcast slaves in the Blue Mountains, along with other assorted slaves, pirates, witches and rogues leap to life in this novel. Goat with the Glass Eye is a novel in the Black Sails 1715 Black and Gold series. Recreating authentic historic events, the authors combine fact, myth, legend, and mysticism that span both Africa and the early Americas. Slavery, piracy, and love affairs weave together with hoodoo and black magic to spin a tale rooted in truth but sparkling with the fantastical. Meanwhile, the mystical "goat with the glass eye" keenly watches every move. Is he diabolical, or an agent of justice?

Book Description
An unnamed city, in which crime families flourish and the police pinch pennies from those with most power... Black Sails, Disco Inferno is a retelling of the classic medieval romance of Tristan and Isolde, turning things on their head by reversing the sex of the chief protagonists and placing them in a '70's pulp/noir world. Andrez Bergen's latest novel exposes layers of the bullet-riddled pulp/noir world of Trista and Issy amidst a sensual, disco-infused narrative overflowing with shady schemes, double dealings, cruel brutality and spellbinding mystery.

Book Description
Young sailor and aspiring Olympic competitor Kevin A. Hall's biggest dream was to raise a family. But within the space of three years, he was diagnosed with both testicular cancer and bipolar disorder, putting his family and Olympic dreams on hold. He soon found that surviving cancer was the easy part. At the age of twenty, Hall began experiencing the exhilarating highs and terrifying lows of bipolar disorder-along with delusions that could make his reality seem like a waking nightmare. And in what could have been a final blow, after four years of struggling to provide love and support, his soul mate chose self-preservation and walked away. Now a renowned Olympic and America's Cup sailor with a wonderful wife and family, Hall shares a behind-the-scenes look at his struggles with mental illness in the riveting memoir Black Sails White Rabbits. In the face of crushing ups and downs, hospitalizations, and family drama, Hall has learned to weather the ever-changing tide of health struggles and personal woes, achieving success despite seemingly impossible odds. A courageous look at a life filled with overwhelming challenges, this frank and fierce memoir also contains a surprising love story at its core, a tribute to the woman by his side. "This is a compelling and extraordinary book about a life of extremes. Of mental pain and sporting triumph, of acute despair and a determination to achieve what others take for granted: a settled family life with a wife and children who love him. It's a jagged ride, funny, romantic and agonizing. Black Sails White Rabbits is essential for what it says about mental illness and how crudely we still treat it. And like all the best art, it's honesty is cathartic." - Philip Delves Broughton, New York Times Bestselling author of Ahead of the Curve:Two Years at Harvard Business School and The Art of the Sale "A devastatingly honest account of being bipolar, told with amazing insight, great feeling and unbelievable humor." - Kendall Hailey, author of The Day I Became An Autodidact "Kevin Hall has an extraordinary life and his book leads us through it in a bracingly honest and intimate way. Moving, sad and humorous, Black Sails White Rabbits should be required reading for all mental health professionals but will be enjoyed by anyone interested in human struggle and perseverance; the book tackles questions of identity that confront us all." - Joel Gold, M.D. author of Suspicious Minds: How Culture Shapes Madness Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry NYU School of Medicine "This is simply the best book about competitive sailing I have ever read." - Nathaniel Philbrick, author of In the Heart of the Sea and Why Read Moby-Dick

Book Description
With surprising tales of vicious mutineers, imperial riches, and high-seas intrigue, Black Flags, Blue Waters is “rumbustious enough for the adventure-hungry” (Peter Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle). Set against the backdrop of the Age of Exploration, Black Flags, Blue Waters reveals the surprising history of American piracy’s “Golden Age” - spanning the late 1600s through the early 1700s - when lawless pirates plied the coastal waters of North America and beyond. “Deftly blending scholarship and drama” (Richard Zacks), best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin illustrates how American colonists at first supported these outrageous pirates in an early display of solidarity against the Crown, and then violently opposed them. Through engrossing episodes of roguish glamour and extreme brutality, Dolin depicts the star pirates of this period, among them the towering Blackbeard, the ill-fated Captain Kidd, and sadistic Edward Low, who delighted in torturing his prey. Upending popular misconceptions and cartoonish stereotypes, Black Flags, Blue Waters is a “tour de force history” (Michael Pierce, Midwestern Rewind) of the seafaring outlaws whose raids reflect the precarious nature of American colonial life.
