Fed up with an outlaw existence, Calico Jack Rackam swears off the pirate life, but he hasn't reckoned with Anne Bonny, a woman who would soon as stab a man as give him a good tumble - that is, unless he's a pirate. Soon Jack finds himself out on the high seas again, with Anne by his side and his men spoiling for action. And when they capture a Dutch merchant ship, they pick out an unlikely crewmate as well, as expert sword fighter and topmast seamen who has a secret: he just so happens to be a woman named Mary. Together, Jack, Anne, and Mary cut a bold swath through the West Indies, stealing naval sloops, plundering rich merchant ships, and choosing to live a life of freedom - the only life that mattered. Paperback, 414 pages. By Maine Author James L. Nelson. Autographed copy
