“There are still thirty-thousand Doubloons buried that’ll never see the light of day!” The Sopranos meets Pirates of the Caribbean Turmoil and Betrayal are the first two episodes in the five-part Pirates of Nassau serial. This bloody tale of friendship and foes is perfect for readers who enjoy a humorous, drama-filled, fast, fun read. Everyone knows what goes on at sea but what about on shore. On an island where pirates rule and kidnapping and murder are a way of life, a turf war is brewing. The once idyllic island of Nassau is awash with buccaneers, bandits and mercenaries all with their own agendas. The infamous Captain Kidd hangs on the gallows, the secrets of his buried treasure taken to the grave with him or at least that’s what most think. Isaac Carver isn't like most. He has something that no one else in Nassau does, and he's determined to use it to find that treasure. To do this, he’ll need to enlist help from some of Nassau’s notorious residents, avoid capture and try to stay sober… at least for the most part. But with a turf war brewing, the city is in turmoil and trust is in short supply. Will Isaac become the pirate captain he’s always dreamed of and find Kidd’s prized treasure or will he perish on the island where few survive. Set in a world where they make their own rules, the first two installments of this page turning serial will leave readers wanting more. The adventure is just beginning. Only the strong survive.

Pirate Women
Author: Laura Sook Duncombe
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 1613736045
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
In the first-ever Seven Seas history of the world's female buccaneers, Pirate Women: The Princesses, Prostitutes, and Privateers Who Ruled the Seven Seas tells the story of women, both real and legendary, who through the ages sailed alongside—and sometimes in command of—their male counterparts. These women came from all walks of life but had one thing in common: a desire for freedom. History has largely ignored these female swashbucklers, until now. Here are their stories, from ancient Norse princess Alfhild and warrior Rusla to Sayyida al-Hurra of the Barbary corsairs; from Grace O'Malley, who terrorized shipping operations around the British Isles during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I; to Cheng I Sao, who commanded a fleet of four hundred ships off China in the early nineteenth century. Author Laura Sook Duncombe also looks beyond the stories to the storytellers and mythmakers. What biases and agendas motivated them? What did they leave out? Pirate Women explores why and how these stories are told and passed down, and how history changes depending on who is recording it. It's the most comprehensive overview of women pirates in one volume and chock-full of swashbuckling adventures that pull these unique women from the shadows into the spotlight that they deserve.
