"Now that youve finished John Flints Bastard, the first in the Of Chains and Slavery trilogy, its time to reef your sails and batten down your hatches as you drive into this new literary storm-Slavery and Revenge-that will take you from the sugar plantations of Baracoa, Cuba, to the pirate stronghold of Tortuga, and thereafter to Charles Town, Savannah, and beyond where Joshua Smoot and his ragtag crew hunt down and exact revenge their enemies. Like John Flints Bastard before it, Slavery and Revenge will drive you relentlessly onward page-by-page like a brigantine driven wing-and-wing before a northeaster. Youll meet Robert Ormerod-the man who buried The Treasure of Dead Mans Chest-and witness the cunning and manipulative Long John Silver as he attempts to acquire the L1,500,000 from that island before he dies. So, now that dinner is over and you have settled into your favorite chair, set sail for another sea adventure that is guaranteed to place Joshua Smoot as high in your rigging as Blackbeard, Captain Kid, Henry Every, Jack Rackham, and the legendary Long John Silver. And when you close the last page, go once again to that bookstore and buy Treasure and Redemption, the third in the Of Chains and Slavery trilogy"--
