In the 1660's Jamaica was an uneasy island, occupied by Spain but settled by the English and French. When Admiral of the Brethren, Ned Yorke, a brave, loyal Buccaneer, learns that Spain is mounting a Caribbean fleet perhaps to protect the treasures of Spanish ships, or carry an army to Jamaica, he vows to find out the truth. Yorke's audacious attacks on Spanish camps reveal all and the Buccaneers must fight a bloody, desperate battle to try and hinder them.

Biography/History:
Dudley Bernard Egerton Pope was born in 1925 into an ancient Cornish sea-faring family. He joined the Merchant Navy at the age of sixteen and much of his early life was spent at sea. He was torpedoed during the Second World War and his resulting spinal injuries plagued him for the remainder of his life. Towards the end of the War, he turned to journalism, becoming the Naval and Defence Correspondent for the London Evening News. Encouraged by Hornblower creator C. S. Forester, he began writing fiction using his own experiences in the Navy and his extensive historical research as a basis. In 1965, he wrote Ramage, the first of his highly successful series of novels following the exploits of the heroic Lord Nicholas Ramage during the Napoleonic Wars. He continued to live aboard boats wherever possible and this was where he wrote the majority of his work. Dudley Pope died in 1997 aged seventy one.
