| Long before Captain Jack Sparrow raised hell with the Pirates of the Caribbean, Tom Bristol sailed to hell and back Under the Black Ensign. Thatâ s where the real adventure begins.Bristolâ s had plenty of bad luck in his life. Press-ganged into serving aboard a British vessel, heâ s felt the cruel captainâ s lash on his back. Then, freed from his servitude by pirates, his good fortune immediately takes a bad turn â ¦ the buccaneers accuse him of murder and leave him to die on a deserted island. Now all he has left are a few drops of water, a gun and just enough bullets to put himself out of his misery.But Bristolâ s luck is about to change. Finding himself in the unexpected company of a fiery woman, he rescues a slave ship, unsheathes his sword, raises a pirate flag of his own and sets off to make love and war on the open seas in this nautical adventure.In his early twenties, Hubbard led the two-and-a-half-month, five-thousand-mile Caribbean Motion Picture Expedition. He followed that with the West Indies Mineralogical Expedition near San Juan, Puerto Rico, in which he completed the islandâ s first mineralogical survey as an American territory. It was during these two journeys that Hubbard became an expert on the Caribbeanâ s colorful historyâ an expertise he drew on to write stories like Under the Black Ensign.â A riveting tale of sailing ships, piracy and the high seas.â â Midwest Book Review* A National Indie Excellence Award Winner |
