Product Description
Review
Praise for 'Flint & Silver': 'Flint & Silver contains the essential ingredients to attract a worldwide following' Western Morning News 'An epic tale of friendship and treason' The Sea 'Swashbuckling adventure on the high seas doesn't get much better than this. If you loved Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island as a kid -- and who didn't? -- then you will absolutely love this not-for-kids prequel. John Drake writes beautifully, and you'll be torn between savoring the words and quickly flipping the pages. Any favorable comparison to Stevenson or Patrick O'Brian is totally justified' Nelson DeMille
About the Author
John Drake lives in Cheshire with his family. His hobbies and interests include muzzle-loaded shooting, history and politics. The Flint and Silver series was inspired by the many unanswered questions left by Robert Louis Stevenson's much-loved classic, Treasure Island.

Great book! I love this book and also Flint & Silver and Pieces of Eight. John Drake did a nice job of creating a story that comes before Treasure Island (for adults)

All three books in this prequel are very entertaining and I recommend them all. A couple were a little tricky to find new but they were well worth it.
