[Captain Shark 01] • Captain Shark

CAPTAIN

SEBASTIAN SHARK

Baptized

in blood and fire, he's a buccaneer captain of the Caribbean in the seventeenth

century. Those were adventurous years, when men dared to seek their fortunes

between the deadly horrors of the Spanish Inquisition and seas infested with

cutthroat pirate ships.

Shark

was such a man, an adventurer who had faced Henry Morgan at Panama, escaped

from the Barbary Corsairs, and sailed through countless battles across the

Spanish Main.

He

considered his life merely a ticket to an uncertain future, hopefully filled

with good wine, chests of gold, a fiery woman or two ... and a sturdy ship to

meet the enemy and a never-ending horizon.

iCome

aboard for a breathtaking race into the glorious past, when the seas churned with ships

at war, when the skies were clouded with the smoke of battle, and the

sounds of

cannon and cutlass tore the air. Not since Rafael Sabatini's Captain Blood has

there been a tale of pirates and buccaneers as authentic and as exciting as

this ... watch

for the next adventure of Captain Shark!/i
