Publisher's Synopsis
Sail Against the Tides of Hell
1640 A.D. Angus "Bloody Red" Buchanan, a pirate of the West Indies, sails east across the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean and Madagascar, in search of plunder. Sailing alongside him, aboard her own ship, Witch of the Indies, is Buchanan's partner and lover, Katherine O'Toole, also known as Crimson Kate.
During their voyage they encounter the Servants of Dagon on the Isle of Shadow; contend with an ancient ship of zombie sailors; do battle with French, Dutch, and Arab corsairs; and tangle with a 1,000 year-old Persian sorcerer who serves Dagon. Man-eating phantoms, a beautiful demoness, assorted devils, dinosaurs, and creatures from the bowels of Hell threaten Buchanan and Crimson Kate before their tale is done and told.
Action, romance, betrayal, humor, drama, and tragedy mix with sword-and-sorcery and battles at sea as Buchanan and company wade hip-deep in blood and brine toward a final confrontation with the Undying Wizard.
This is high seas adventure in the tradition of Rafael Sabatini, with equal parts Errol Flynn, Robert E. Howard, and a smidge of Lovecraft and Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World to spice up the rum.
So climb aboard as Bloody Red Buchanan and Crimson Kate set sail upon the Waters of Darkness in an old-fashioned pirate fantasy of swords, sorcery, and the supernatural.
