A classic swashbuckling adventure on the high seas
Peter Blood is a physician and an English gentleman who becomes a pirate out of a rankling sense of injustice.
Barely escaping the gallows after his arrest for treating wounded rebels who were fighting the oppressive King
James, Blood flees England and becomes enslaved on a Barbados plantation of buccaneers. When he escapes, no ship
sailing the Spanish Main is safe from Blood and his companions. Abounding with adventure, color, romance, and strong
social commentary on the evils of slavery and the dangers of intolerance, this classic adventure is a story about
how oppression drives men to desperate actions, how fate plays a hand in everyone's life, and how love is ultimately
the greatest power of all.
