Tom Bristol's career as first
mate of the Maryland bark Randolph abruptly ends during shore leave when
he is press-ganged into serving aboard the British HMS Terror.
Toil under the cruel whip of England is merciless: Crew members are
treated as little more than chattel—barely fed, made to work past the
brink of exhaustion and kept in line with a cat-o'-nine-tails. Fate
finally smiles on young Bristol when the vessel is overtaken by pirates
and he gladly turns coat and joins them.
Yet Tom's new pirate mates desert him quickly after he's found guilty
of killing a mutinous pirate and unwittingly harboring a woman on
board. Marooned on a deserted island, Tom has nothing but a small supply
of water, a gun and just enough bullets to kill himself. But Tom dreams
up a devious plan that will return him to the high seas and make his
past adventures pale compared to what he has in store for his many
enemies. . . .
