Captain Blood: His Odyssey is an adventure novel by Rafael Sabatini, originally published in 1922. Sabatini was a proponent of basing historical fiction as closely as possible on history. Although Blood is a fictional character, much of the historical background of the novel is based on fact. The Monmouth rebels were sold into slavery as described in the book; and the shifting political alliances of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 are used in the novel as a plot device to allow Blood's return to respectability.

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.
