Book excerpt: After commuting Peter Blood's prison sentence to ten years of slavery on the island of Barbados, the English transport him and a few rebels into the hands of the treacherous Colonel Bishop, a sugar plantation owner and a ruthless thug who sees nothing wrong with using stocks, whips, and other threatening devices to control his slaves. The story rapidly takes off from this point, as Blood escapes and embarks on a career as a pirate. He raids Spanish treasure ships in the Caribbean while pining for Bishop's pretty niece Arabella. Blood dupes a host of despicable characters through a series of adventures on sea and land. Through it all, this Irish pirate never loses sight of his goals: to clear his name and return to England, and to woo Arabella Bishop.
