His final book, published post-mortem, was supposedly found in a completed state after his 2008 death but I have my suspicions that the publisher may just be cashing in on the name one last time. Regardless of this conspiracy theory I enjoyed this for fast-paced fiction. Things moved quick - with every conceivable problem being thrown at the pirate crew, er privateers, and them managing to escape each time. Battles were not overly drawn out which was nice, and necessary as there were so many to fit in. Despite being fun fiction there was also a great deal of interesting facts and ways of life regarding the 17th century Jamaican life, and that of pirates, that added greatly.
