Opis

Jamaica 1665. A lone British outpost in Spanish-controlled Caribbean waters. Its capital, Port Royal is the last place anyone would expect an attack to be launched on a Spanish stronghold. Yet that is exactly what renowned privateer Captain Charles Hunter plans to do, with the connivance of Charles II's ruling governor.
