Peter Blood, bachelor of medicine and several other things besides, smoked a pipe and tended the geraniums boxed on the sill of his window above Water Lane in the town of Bridgewater. Sternly disapproving eyes considered him from a window opposite, but went disregarded. Mr. Blood's attention was divided between his task and the stream of humanity in the narrow street below; a stream which poured for the second time that day towards Castle Field, where earlier in the afternoon Ferguson, the Duke's chaplain, had preached a sermon containing more treason than divinity. These straggling, excited groups were mainly composed of men with green boughs in their hats and the most ludicrous of weapons in their hands.

This is a great adventure tale, beautifully written. Definitely one of the greatest books I have ever read, and I have read thousands. I have become a great fan of Sabatini, and I have read many of his books since. It is certainly worth owning, because you can read it many times over.

A beautifully written pirate tale, complete with sea battles, damsels in distress, lover's quarrels and wild schemes. The poetic justice of the ending is rich indeed. I have read this book probably 6 times now, and still hasn't grown old. I recommend this book to anyone looking for adventure.
