Captain Blood

Peter Blood, a physician and former soldier, tends his geraniums in Bridgewater while Monmouth's rebellion rages around him. His quiet life is shattered when he is swept up in the aftermath of the Battle of Sedgemoor. Arrested as a rebel, he is sold into slavery in the Caribbean, where a daring escape thrusts him into the role of pirate captain. From the brutal realities of the slave trade to the high seas of the Spanish Main, Blood's odyssey is a tale of adventure, honor, and revenge, as he navigates a world of shifting loyalties and deadly enemies.
