Summary

Captain Stephen Boswell sails under the red flag, a symbol of no mercy. It’s the only reason he has lived this long. The only reason the Navy has not found him yet. But they are closing in. And if they catch him, they will execute him for piracy.  

Ten-year-old Alice Bradford doesn’t know why she is alive. When Captain Boswell found her hiding on his ship, she expected him to kill her, and it seemed his own crew had expected likewise. But now she is his prisoner and she fears that she will be forever. Somehow, though, it seems that the captain might be more afraid of the Navy than she is of him. Something from his past has him ill at ease, Alice realizes. 

Even if the Navy cannot bring him to his knees, his own paranoia will. 

A gripping, fast-paced story about one of the last pirates of the Golden Age of Piracy and his fight for survival. 

"Julia Maiola holds nothing back as she enlightens readers and listeners about piracy; the bond between the men, the dangers of trusting acquaintances, and the policy of no witnesses left behind. This is a must-read for everyone who loves historical high-seas adventures. Thomas Cardwell brings each character to life effectively and adds spirit to the novel. He is one of the best narrators I have heard." (Readers' Favorite

Batman and a 10-year-old girl

Narrator Thomas Cardwell is convincing as a 10-year-Old girl while at the same time somehow also channels Batman for the perfect tortured pirate. This action-packed tale of the high seas is equally thrilling as it is morally perplexing- well worth the listen.
