If you like pirate novels, you'll enjoy Donald Barr Chidsey's MAROONED — a real swashbuckling adventure of buccaneering to match the best.

Here are the rakish ships that fly the Jolly Roger, the men who swear by the pirates' code, the governor sworn to vengeance, and the fair maidens held for ransom. This is the story of Alan Waite, pirate and anti-pirate. Scum of the sea to some, a hero to his women, he is the kind of reckless sea-rover every reader will thrill to follow down the Spanish Main!
