Man of Fortune: The Further Adventures of Philip Rake
The Caribbean, 1715. Philip Rake and the crew of the Azrael have survived storm, shipwreck and betrayal to emerge hot for vengeance Rake wants the Molucca Star back; a diamond of untold value that will make him and his men rich as kings.
But the East Indies have been rocked by a seismic event. The Spanish treasure fleet setting out from Havana has been wrecked on the shores of Florida, drawing every pirate and privateer in the Caribbean like flies to a honey pot. As the Golden Age of Piracy hits its stride, Philip Rake embarks upon a five year-long career of danger and treachery in which he meets the most notorious figures of the era including Blackbeard, Charles Vane, Anne Bonny and Mary Read.
But it's not all plain sailing as Rake is about to find out. As the pirates grow in strength, a force from England sets out to smash them once and for all. In the midst of all this, old friends (and enemies) return to complicate Rake's life, forcing him to make some desperate choices.
