Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of May 1704, the story follows Captain John Quelch, whose successful voyage brings him immense wealth but leads to his arrest for piracy and murder. His trial, deemed a significant miscarriage of justice, not only impacted the future of piracy but also reflected the growing discontent with English rule in America. Quelch's fate exemplifies the complex moral landscape of the era, highlighting the blurred lines between pirate and privateer, and the harsh realities faced by those navigating a changing world.
