A fictional adventure based on the story of two survivors of the Whydah, a real pirate ship captained by Black Sam Belamy that sank in 1717. The Whydah carried a huge treasure but little of it has ever been found. A twisting tale of action, adventure and romance across three generations and three continents, The Sword of Black Sam Belamy hardly pauses for breath and keeps you gripped from the dramatic prologue right up to the very last page.
