Paperback, 141 pages

About the Title: PIRATES, BURIED MAPS, AND HIDDEN TREASURE! Set on the glorious Chesapeake Bay during the third year of the reign of good Queen Anne (1705), this swash-buckling novel depicts the conflict of righteous behavior and foolishness with the outcome being a matter of life or death.

The story follows 15 year-old Thomas Ingle who longs to work aboard a ship as his deceased father once had. Thomas eventually serves on the Prudent Hannah under the honorable Captain Monroe. Treasure, financial hardship, and pirate mystique all add to a cleverly woven tale of uncommon honor in the face of insidious treachery that stretches from the days of cutlasses and muskets to the present.
