Flint's Fist offers a fresh twist on a classic tale. Ben Gunn, a carpenter's boy, dreams of escaping 18th century London to find the happy isles of peace and contentment. But when he and his friend Dirk venture to West Africa in service of a crown trading company, they find more than they bargained for. Their voyage sweeps them to the back of beyond, across oceans, through slavery, piracy, and shipwreck, to their final reckoning on the shore of a desert island.
Generations of readers of Treasure Island have puzzled over the untold history of Captain John Flint and his pirate crew. How did Long John Silver lose his leg and blind Pew lose his eyes? Why did Flint betray his shipmates by burying their gold in a secret cache, and what caused his death at Savannah? How did Ben survive being marooned on the Treasure Island and deliver himself from Silver and his blood-crazed mutineers?Flint's Fist reveals all this and more about the fabulous band of brigands, many not mentioned in Treasure Island. At times brutal, always exotic, it is decidedly a tale for grown-ups.
