17-year-old John Spencer is finishing up his apprenticeship on his father's merchantman, the Dragon on its way to the West Indies. John laughs at his father's fears of cannibals and pirates, but things begin to go awry when the Dragon picks up a castaway in the middle of the ocean - a man feared as a Jonah. The truth, however, may be far more sinister as the Dragon is swept into the path of the fearsome buccaneer Bartholomew Grace and his lust for treasure.

The final installment in the High Seas Trilogy finds John Spencer on the Dragon headed for Jamaica on a trading venture. On the way they pick up a man drifting in a boat. There is something about Horn and his story that seems odd. Can he be trusted? Then the Dragon runs into a real pirate ship and the answers to the questions about Horn become even more important. A wonderful tale with a surprise ending. Another gem from Lawrence for boys.

I enjoyed this story of adventure on the high seas. It was the third in a trilogy, but I didn't read the previous books. It wasn't really necessary to read the other books to enjoy this one, but it would have helped a little with the ending, I think. Also, it would have been better to have a chart of ships, naming the parts. I was confused sometimes.

A look into piracy during the late 1700's and very early 1800's. England and France want an end to the buccaneers but have no problem with a little illigitamate tactics here and there.
