Historical
A swashbuckling triumph of storytelling, Flint and
Silver provides a thrilling ride back to the rich and
wondrous world of Long John Silver and his fiendish nemesis
Joseph Flint in this prequel to the beloved classic
Treasure Island. 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. Finding
himself surrounded by their revenge-thirsty crewmates,
Silver fears his promising merchant navy career is at an
end. 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. 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
the pieces of gold for himself trigger a rivalry that will
turn the best of friends into sworn enemies. And so the
legend of Treasure Island begins -- 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.
