Publisher's Synopsis
The Caribbean. 1715. Jake Hawking - pirate, rogue, and scourge of the Spanish Main - is known for his quick blade and cunning wit. It's earned him some friends in the Caribbean, but it's also earned him his fair share of enemies. The governor of Havana has hired three of the most dangerous bounty hunters in the West Indies to track and capture Hawking and his crew. It's not an unusual predicament for a pirate to find himself - hunted to the end of his days - but if the Spanish governor manages to persuade the lot to fly under a single banner, it could make life a little more interesting than Hawking wishes. With the giant ex-slave Little Queen and the rest of Hawking's crew aboard the snow-brig Broad-Wing, they'll need every ounce of wit, sail, and steel if they're to survive and out duel the bounty hunters. Included in the collection are the first three Jake Hawking short adventures - "A Pirate's Honor," "The Royal Bounty Hunter," and "Little Queen's Gambit" - previously only available as eBooks (also available on Amazon). This edition also includes a foreword by J.M. Aucoin, the original single story artwork, and four bonus pirate stories and swashbuckling poems. Inspired by the swashbuckler tales of the early 1900s as well as the likes of Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks, the Jake Hawking Adventures promise to thrill readers with swordplay, daring, intrigue, and plenty of high adventure.
