Doctor Peter Blood's quiet life is shattered when he is convicted of treason for helping a wounded
nobleman in the 1685 rebellion against King James II.

He's swept into a slave ship to Barbados, but during a Spanish pirate attack, he escapes from his
brutal slave owner. He becomes a pirate, and before long he is the greatest buccaneer of them all.
Raids, sea battles, sword fights, and acts of gallantry and low cunning follow, recounted with zest
and skill by a natural-born storyteller.
