Historical
In this prequel to Treasure Island, John Drake brilliantly
imagines the back story of the storied pirates, John Silver
and Captain Joseph Flint.
John Silver had never killed a man. Until now, his charisma,
sheer size and, when all else failed, powerful fists had
been enough to dispatch his enemies. But on a smoldering
deck off the coast of Madagascar, his shipmates dead or
dying all around him, his cutlass has just claimed the lives
of six pirates. Surrounded by their revenge-thirsty
crewmates, Silver fears for his life, but then the pirate
captain makes him an offer he can’t refuse.On the other side of the world, Joseph Flint, a naval
officer wronged by his superiors, plots a bloody mutiny.
Strikingly handsome, brilliant but prey to sadistic
tendencies, Flint is regarded as the most dangerous bandit
on the high seas and fate would have it that his course
intersects with Silver’s. Together these gentlemen of fortune forge a deadly and
unstoppable partnership, steering a course through treachery
and betrayal while amassing vast treasure. But the arrival
of Selena, a beautiful runaway slave with a murderous past,
and Flint’s schemes to secure gold for himself trigger a
rivalry that will turn comrades-in-arms into sworn enemies.
And so the prequel to the beloved classic Treasure Island
unfolds—an epic battle of wits and blades that unravels the
mysteries of Robert Louis Stevenson’s greatest work on the
sweltering seas of the Caribbean.
