Long before Captain Jack Sparrow raised hell with the Pirates of the Caribbean, Tom Bristol sailed to hell and back Under the Black Ensign. That s where the real adventure begins.
Bristol s had plenty of bad luck in his life. Press-ganged into serving aboard a British vessel, he s felt the cruel captain s lash on his back. Then, freed from his servitude by pirates, his good fortune immediately takes a bad turn . . . as the pirates accuse him of murder and leave him to die on a deserted island. Now all he has left are a few drops of water, a gun, and just enough bullets to put himself out of his misery.
But Bristol s luck is about to change. Finding himself in the unexpected company of a fiery woman and a crafty crew, he unsheathes his sword, raises a pirate flag of his own, and sets off to make love and war on the open seas.
In his early twenties, Hubbard led the two-and-a-half-month, five-thousand-mile Caribbean Motion Picture Expedition. He followed that with the West Indies Mineralogical Expedition near San Juan, Puerto Rico, in which he completed the island s first mineralogical survey as an American territory. It was during these two journeys that Hubbard became an expert on the Caribbean s colorful history an expertise he drew on to write stories like Under the Black Ensign.
A riveting tale of sailing ships, piracy and the high seas. Midwest Book Review* A National Indie Excellence Award Winner"
