The Captain Blood Trilogy

These Straggling, Excited Groups Were Mainly Composed Of Men With Green Boughs In Their Hats And The Most Ludicrous Of Weapons In Their Hands. Some, It Is True, Shouldered Fowling Pieces, And Here And There A Sword Was Brandished; But More Of Them Were Armed With Clubs, And Most Of Them Trailed The Mammoth Pikes Fashioned Out Of Scythes, As Formidable To The Eye As They Were Clumsy To The Hand. There Were Weavers, Brewers, Carpenters, Smiths, Masons, Bricklayers, Cobblers, And Representatives Of Every Other Of The Trades Of Peace Among These Improvised Men Of War. Bridgewater, Like Taunton, Had Yielded So Generously Of Its Manhood To The Service Of The Bastard Duke That For Any To Abstain Whose Age And Strength Admitted Of His Bearing Arms Was To Brand Himself A Coward Or A Papist...FROM THE BOOKS.

Captain Blood Returns is a 1931 British historical adventure novel by the Anglo-Italian writer Rafael Sabatini. It is the second in Sabatini's trilogy about the character after Captain Blood and was followed by The Fortunes of Captain Blood

Dr. Peter Blood is a sharp-witted Irish physician who had had a wide-ranging career as a soldier and sailor (including a commission as a captain under the Dutch admiral De Ruyter) before settling down to practice medicine in the town of Bridgwater in Somerset. Dr. Blood involuntary gets involved in the Monmouth Rebellion while the town prepares to fight for James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth. He wants no part in the rebellion, but while attending to some of the rebels wounded at the Battle of Sedgemoor, Peter is arrested and convicted of treason. The sentence is death by hanging, but King James II, for purely financial reasons, has the sentence for rebels commuted to transportation to the Caribbean, where they are to be sold into slavery. When a Spanish force attacks and raids the town of Bridgetown, Blood escapes with a number of other convict-slaves, captures the Spaniards' ship and sails away to become one of the most successful pirates in the Caribbean, hated and feared by the Spanish and always sparing English ships. Colonel Bishop, humiliated by Blood's escape and by Blood himself, devotes himself to capturing Blood with the hope of hanging him._x000D_ Table of Contents:_x000D_ Captain Blood_x000D_ Captain Blood Returns_x000D_ The Fortunes of Captain Blood

Captain Blood Returns is a 1931 British historical adventure novel by Rafael Sabatini. It is the second in Sabatini's trilogy about the character after Captain Blood (1922) and was followed by The Fortunes of Captain Blood (1936). ★ About The Author: Rafael Sabatini (29 April 1875 - 13 February 1950) was an Italian/English writer of novels of romance and adventure. He is best known for his worldwide best-sellers The Sea Hawk (a tale of an Elizabethan Englishman among the pirates of the Barbary Coast), Captain Blood (in which the title character is admiral of a fleet of pirate ships), two additional Captain Blood books comprising short stories, but they are not sequels: The Chronicles of Captain Blood a.k.a. Captain Blood Returns, and The Fortunes of Captain Blood), and The Black Swan. ★ About The Book: The Chronicles of Captain Blood (a.k.a. Captain Blood Returns) is a fictional work and all characters are drawn from the Sabatini's imagination. Captain blood is the much-loved story of a physician and gentleman turned pirate. Peter blood, wrongfully accused and sentenced to death, narrowly escapes his fate and finds himself in the company of buccaneers. Blood becomes the "Robin Hood" of the Spanish seas. This is swashbuckling adventure at its best. ★ Captain Blood Returns Excerpt: The Odyssey of Captain Blood, given to the world some years ago, was derived from various sources, disclosed in the course of its compilation. Of these the most important is the log of the Arabella, kept by the young Somersetshire shipmaster Jeremy Pitt. This log amounts to just such a chronicle of Blood's activities upon the Caribbean as that which Esquemeling, in similar case, has left of the exploits of that other great buccaneer, Sir Henry Morgan. The compilation of the Odyssey, whilst it exhausted all other available collateral sources of information, was very far from exhausting the material left by Pitt. From that log of his were taken only those episodes which bore more or less directly upon the main outline of Blood's story, which it was then proposed to relate and elucidate. The selection presented obvious difficulties; and omissions, reluctantly made, were compelled by the necessity of presenting a straightforward and consecutive narrative. Caption blood series is an adventure story and is recommended for those interested in seafaring and Pirates of the Caribbean area. This book has inspired filmmakers and even the video game industry. ★ This Book Note: This book consists of the original edition, a pure standard experience not scanned or photocopy.
