Book Synopsis Hunting the Last Great Pirate by : Michael Edward Ashton Ford
Download or read book Hunting the Last Great Pirate written by Michael Edward Ashton Ford and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2020-05-30 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true, century-spanning saga of terror at sea, a dramatic trial, and a mystery at long last solved . . . In 1827 the Duke of Wellington—former Commander-in-Chief of the British Army and British Prime Minister—ordered the withdrawal of British soldiers from the island of Ceylon after years of bloody conflict there. English cargo vessels, including the unarmed English Quaker ship Morning Star, were dispatched to sail to Colombo to repatriate wounded British soldiers and a cargo of sealed crates containing captured treasure. By January 1828, Morning Star was anchored at Table Bay, Cape Town, before joining an armed British convoy of East Indiamen heading north. Heavily laden, she struggled to keep up with the ships ahead. But a heavily armed pirate ship and its master, the notorious Benito de Soto, were lying in wait off Ascension Island in the mid-Atlantic to pick off stragglers from passing convoys. This book tells the full story of how Morning Star was easily overhauled by the pirate and stopped with cannon fire, the bloody events that followed, the long quest to hold de Soto to account—and the remarkable discovery that was made nearly a century later.
Download or read book Gran Meccanismo written by Mark Galeotti and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the Year of Our Lord 1510, and one has to wonder how differently history could have played out if Niccolò Machiavelli, the military commissioner of the Republic of Florence, had not understood the true scale of Leonardo da Vinci's genius. In such a world, the visionary might simply have wasted his time painting portraits of women and doodling in a sketchbook. Instead, he unleashed a technological revolution where primitive computers, decorated with delicately painted cupids, run on water clocks; spring-powered tanks whir across the battlefield, cannons thundering from their flanks; and gliders flit across perfectly blue Tuscan skies. Gran Meccanismo is a roleplaying game of swashbuckling adventure in a Renaissance Italy where Florence's winding alleys play host to spies, scholars, and sell-swords alike. Players are nobles, mercenaries, inventors, and artisans who may find themselves crossing wits with Machiavelli, avoiding the dangerous charms of Lucretia Borgia, or hearing Christopher Columbus telling tales of the new world he has discovered...

From the books and people they encounter aboard Permanent Wants, Emmeline travels to places, real and imaginary, that astonish and bedazzle her in turns. From the discovery of a map of a now unheard-of land, to a town whose citizens are no longer able to make music, to the revelation of an island filled with serpents and snakes, Emmeline's adventures show her wonders that help her unlock her own self.

Download or read book A Thousand Years of Pirates written by William Gilkerson and published by Tundra Books. This book was released on 2010-01-18 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as long as they’ve existed, pirates have conjured up visions of high-seas adventure and skullduggery, sea chases and bloody battles, dangerous coastal lairs and buried treasure. Rightly so, for ever since ships have carried valuable cargo, pirates have enraged monarchs and struck terror into the hearts of honest seamen with their willingness to risk life and limb for an undeserved share of the riches. Whether the cargo was gold or silver, spices or silks, animal or human, there have always been villains ruthless enough to kill or be hanged for it. From the days of the Vikings to the present and in all the oceans of the world, pirates have made their presence known and feared. Recorded here are their stories along with striking images of ships, storms at sea, and secret harbors where “black ships” could be re-stocked and refitted. Award-winning author and artist William Gilkerson has spent years researching and painting their colorful history. From the terrible Black Beard to the fascinating Granuaile, or Grace O’Malley as the English called her, they have come to life under his brush. One can almost hear the creak of timbers, the snap of canvas while turning the pages. This gift book is a rich treasure in its own right. From the Hardcover edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world a reflection of our own, dragons once lived in a land known to history as Atlantis, until they died fighting in a great war that destroyed the ancient city. But the ghosts of the dragons returned, and the surviving Atlantians, along with the children of the humans they bred with, discovered the dragon-ghosts could use their strength to transmute wood into something hard as steel, ignite fires, heal torn flesh, and many other things as well. Those who could control the dragon-ghosts became known as 'Dragons' themselves, and ordinary mortals feared them, forcing Dragons to live their lives in secret. But by 1620 the world had changed. Dragons were grudgingly becoming accepted, and a young Dragon named Tomas Rios is living a quiet life in his foster-grandfather's apothecary shoppe, known throughout St. Augustine and beyond as a healer and nothing more. But his quiet life is about to be turned upside down. For the ancient evil that brought down Atlantis is stirring once again...
