I am the author. Sorry the publisher misspelled Buccaneer, but won't detract from an exciting read about the Buccaneers of the Caribbean who were at times stealing gold from the Spaniards with the sanction of England while at other times they were considered pirates subjected to being hanged. Times were exciting when the Buccaneers sailed to plunder the Spanish treasures kepi in Panama. Bet you can't put it down.

I'm not the biggest fan of pirate stories, so I had to force myself to read this one.

While the story has its moments, it's mostly a compilation of poorly-written sex and predictable action scenes. The characters are shallow and mostly stereotypical, not memorable at all. I didn't even like the protagonist, and the "main" antagonist had a few random scenes. Just because he did the actions that depict him as an antagonist, doesn't make him much worse than other characters, which are mostly antagonistic, on the absolute moral/ethic scale.
