3.0 out of 5 stars A swashbuckling tale, April 8 2002

By	Fred Camfield (Vicksburg, MS USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is an average book in this genre. It has an original copyright of 1992, but was recently reprinted. It is written in the style of Errol Flynn motion pictures, i.e., good guys chasing and pounding on bad guys, with a female role added in (it would do for a B grade motion picture). There is considerable violence but no real sexual content.

It is part of the continuing Patrick Dalton Saga, as Dalton sails as "a man without a country," claiming allegiance to no particular country, but looking for opportunities. He is a man given a noble purpose, fighting pirate ships, and claiming salvage for profit when he can. The story is a little unrealistic from the historical standpoint (people were more inclined to put profit ahead of good deeds) but illustrates the confused state of things along the Atlantic seaboard in 1778. The story is somewhat like the Perils of Pauline, left unfinished with a villain not brought to justice, apparently as a lead in to a sequel. While not great literature, it can provide an interesting story to read on a rainy day, and is probably better than watching summer reruns on TV.
