After saving the life of a wounded nobleman who turns out to be a rebel, Blood is charged with treason and sentenced to ten years as an indentured slave in the Caribbean colonies. <p>On the islands, Blood is recognized for his knowledge as a physician, and thus he develops a romance with a young lady. But their attachment is ill-fated, as her father is the owner of Blood’s servitude. When Spaniards attack the colony, Blood and his fellow convicts take advantage of their victory celebration to steal their ship, sailing off to become the boldest and most fearless pirates on the Spanish Main. 2125579 book 1922 Captain Blood total:512|5:206|4:201|3:85|2:15|1:5| 512 2124 736 100 5 2 false true Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Feb 17 19:58:48 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 21:47:18 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 06 18:27:05 -0800 2007 Fri Jan 04 08:17:24 -0800 2008
