With backing from a powerful ally, Hunter assembles a crew of ruffians to infiltrate the enemy outpost and commandeer El Trinidad, along with its fortune in Spanish gold.
Heavily fortified, the impregnable harbor is guarded by the bloodthirsty Cazalla, a favorite commander of the Spanish king himself. Word in port is that the galleon El Trinidad, fresh from New Spain, is awaiting repairs in a nearby harbor. For Captain Charles Hunter, gold in Spanish hands is gold for the taking, and the law of the land rests with those ruthless enough to make it. In this steamy climate there's a living to be made, a living that can end swiftly by disease - or by dagger. Port Royal, its capital, is a cutthroat town of taverns, grog shops, and bawdy houses. A remote colony of the English Crown, the island of Jamaica holds out against the vast supremacy of the Spanish empire.
From one of the best-loved authors of all time comes an irresistible adventure of swashbuckling pirates in the New World, a classic story of treasure and betrayal.
