About this title

Review:

"An avenging angel, his oppressor's worst nightmare, the modern avatar of the Count of Monte Cristo. In the wake of Sabatini's dashing buccaneer come C.S. Forester and Patrick O'Brian, but also James Bond and Dick Francis" (Washington Post)

"Captain Blood is a Dick Turpin of the High Seas, a seafaring version of The Scarlet Pimpernel, a Caribbean Zorro" (Kate Mosse from the introduction to the Vintage edition of 'Captain Blood')

"Buckles never swashed more dashingly" (John Sutherland Guardian)

"I liked the idea that the hero was also the villain. He was a pirate with a conscience and that idea was to be very strong in my books" (Eoin Colfer)

Book Description:

Yet more thrilling adventures of the bold and bolshy Captain Blood
