| Synopsis |
Discover the first unpublished novel by George MacDonald Fraser New Providence, 1720s. When infamous pirate Captain "Calico" Jack Rackham returns from the high seas to ask Governor Woodes Rogers for a royal pardon, the Governor sees his chance to put his own devious plans into action. Their agreement sets off an adventure of betrayals, counter-betrayals, plots and escapes which will see Rackham join forces with hte scheming but seductively beautiful pirate, Anne Bonney. Captain in Calico is a wonderfully spirited and entertaining novel, which will delight fans of George MacDonald Fraser. The unscrupulous Captain Rackham is pure pleasure, and demonstrates the author's early penchant -- and flair -- for writing scoundrels of the highest order. |
