Not a bad pirate book. It reads a bit like a movie with appropriate one liners and gotcha moments. Mixing a bit of humor. With some killing scenes offered a book that at times was unsure of itself. The style appears to be somewhere in the middle between Gus Openshaw and his newer ASpy novels as far as seriousness etc. Either way i would have to give a favorable review and not just because he spells his name the proper way.
