Rafael Sabatini's Captain Blood is one of the great swashbuckling adventure novels: a story of injustice, exile, piracy, revenge, and honour on the high seas. Dr. Peter Blood is a skilled Irish physician whose quiet life is destroyed when he is wrongly condemned for treason after the Monmouth Rebellion. Transported to the Caribbean and sold into slavery, Blood refuses to be broken by the injustice done to him. From servitude in Barbados, he rises by courage, intelligence, and daring to become one of the most feared and admired buccaneers in the Spanish Main.
First published in 1922, Captain Blood remains Sabatini's best-known novel and a defining work of historical adventure fiction. Set against the turbulent world of seventeenth-century England and the Caribbean, the novel combines sea battles, swordplay, political betrayal, romance, colonial power, and the irresistible transformation of an honourable man into an outlaw captain. This SMK Books edition presents a classic of pirate fiction and historical adventure for readers of swashbuckling novels, sea stories, classic adventure fiction, and tales of rebellion, loyalty, and dangerous freedom.
