Captain Red

He sails for freedom. In the golden age of piracy, one captain is tearing down the old world to build a sanctuary for the free.
In the early 1700s, the ocean is a lawless expanse ruled by greed and the horrific transatlantic slave trade stripping souls from Africa to the Americas. But from the shadows of the sea rises an unlikely legend: Captain Red. Raised from a lowly cabin boy into a formidable commander of the waves, he is a pirate unlike any other—neither bloodthirsty nor ruthless but driven by a vision of justice.
Armed with stolen gold and silver, Captain Red is openly carving out a thriving Caribbean island community where freed slaves and their families can live in absolute peace. Capturing slave ships breaks the chains of the transatlantic trade, offering those he rescues the ultimate choice: a safe passage back to Africa, or a brand-new life in a thriving island community.
Spanish galleons and French merchant ships are not safe either, for they supply the gold, silver and jewellery Captain Red uses to benefit the Caribbean community.
As he sails the Atlantic, Captain Red must out manoeuvre Captain Robert Pellew, the relentless hound of the British Navy. Worse still, a dark shadow from his past has caught his scent—Billy De Ghrondelle, a boyhood enemy fueled by bitter vengeance, who will stop at nothing to see Captain Red suffer.
Can a pirate with a conscience survive the combined might of an empire and a lifelong vendetta? Or will Captain Red's dream of freedom be swallowed by the sea?
