"A worthwhile addition to the Blackbeard canon." -Kirkus Reviews
"Great for fans of Patrick O'Brian." -Lew Gibb,
USA When idealistic young officer Robert Maynard receives orders to hunt and destroy the pirate outlaw known as Blackbeard, he and his crew embark on a treacherous journey through 18th century colonial America that tests their sanity and honor.
Meanwhile, far south in the sunny currents of the Caribbean, their prey - the meticulous and secretive man who calls himself Edward Teach - struggles to amass a small squadron of maneuverable warships with plans to disrupt the lucrative British shipping lanes to the north.
This is the story of two men on opposite sides of the law who are more alike than they know, and whose paths are destined to cross in the most devastating and violent way...
Doggett's first novel "has its roots less in pirate fiction and more in modern cinematic portrayals such as
Heat,
Apocalypse Now, or
Master and Commander," leaving readers "enthralled," "highly impressed," and "reluctant to put it down."
