Sir Henry Morgan, Buccaneer: A Romance of the Spanish Main
He was knighted by the King of England and cursed by the Spanish. Sir Henry Morgan lived larger than life, and this novel tells his story with all the blood and glory history forgot. We meet Morgan in his final days, stripped of his governorship and facing the hangman's noose after the death of his patron King Charles II. Rather than surrender, the old buccaneer summons his crew once more and sets sail for the Spanish Main, where treasure and treachery await in equal measure. Brady captures the man's duality perfectly: the polished courtier and the ruthless predator, the English knight and the pirate king. This is adventure fiction at its most exuberant, a tale of sea battles, betrayals, and the relentless pursuit of gold that defined an era. For readers who grew up dreaming of Captain Jack Sparrow, Morgan is the real legend behind the myth.
