James Cutlass must join forces with pirates to find her and combat the murderous Pirate King. Neither allies nor enemies are ever as they seem out on the great seas!

This is an action-packed, fast-paced novel that never takes itself too seriously. Hunt writes compelling characters with plausible motivations. Their conversations are interesting and believable.

James is twelve when pirates overcome the British navy on the island where he lives with his uncle the Baron. One of James friends is a retired pirate, but those nearer his age are almost ordinary. It's nearing the end of lucrative pirating, and the villain of the piece is after the map James father had been murdered for. Great story! I loved it!
Jake Ruddle sounds perfect as narrator.

A fantastic pirate tale that is like a mix between Treasure Island and Pirates of the Caribbean. It features a bunch of famous pirates. This isn’t meant to be historically accurate, but is a delightful read. Loved it. Hope there is a Book 2.
