Description
"Cohen delivers a solid, compelling, and briskly paced story that blends adventure and romance within a rich historical setting." -- The BookLife Prize
Michael McNamara has one last chance to fight for king and country.
His once-promising career in tatters, McNamara leaves the newly-United Kingdom behind in search of a new life. With no other skills but the sword, he joins forces with a pirate turned pirate hunter determined to rid the Caribbean of the Brotherhood of the Black Flag once and for all.
Eager for the adventure and a worthy cause to fight for, McNamara pits himself against treacherous seas and battle-hardened buccaneers...and uncovers an international conspiracy that threatens thousands of lives.
The Golden Age of Piracy is about to end...but not without one final reckoning.

This story draws you in right away. Michael's life is at a low; dishonorably discharged from the navy, now he is being dismissed from his job as a fencing instructor and his family isn't speaking to him. Things can only improve as he spends most of his savings to travel to Jamaica with the hope of starting over. A tavern brawl, beautiful women and pirates seeking to mend their ways lead Michael to places he never even dreamed about.
I will admit that there were a couple spots where the pace slowed down a bit too much for my tastes; with lots of details. Generally, it kept my interest with both plot and characters and I really enjoyed it. Being a pirate book, there were some gruesome parts, and a few lewd ones, but nothing overt.
I would recommend it for teens and adults.
