Having just escaped the King's justice, notorious pirate Peter Easton arrives in St. John's harbour with ten well-armed ships. Knowing he is too powerful to be refused, Easton confidently invites the King's loyal fishing admiral, Richard Whitbourne, and his second-in-command, Captain Dawson, aboard his flagship The Happy Adventure. Insisting Whitbourne and Dawson are guests and not prisoners, Easton takes them by surprise, pulling anchor and setting sail with half his flotilla for the Caribbean.

Easton takes place in Newfoundland, the Caribbean, and England. The story reflects a time when Newfoundland was crucial to trade and power, and when there was a very thin line between loyalty and piracy-a line that could be crossed in either direction in the blink of an eye.

The story is fast-paced, action-packed, and replete with horrific details, frequent tests of will, a somewhat improbable love match, and a satisfying denouement. -- Canadian Book Review Annual

It is exceptionally well-written, with the author's prose-and especially the dialogue-flowing in an easy, natural manner. -- The Telegram

The story is fast-paced and captivating. -- Downhome

Taking the reader from England to Newfoundland to the Caribbean, this tale of politics, power and piracy provides an adventurous perspective on a fascinating time in our history. -- Current

Nicely detailed and imagined. -- The Telegram

Striking phrasings. -- The Independent

Easton is a compelling, fast-paced tale of piracy and romance. A delightful read. -- Leo Furey, The Long Run
