Kidd and the Kingdom (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Betrayed, unjustly imprisoned, and destined to be executed for murder and piracy, Captain Kidd faces an ultimate battle against the most powerful politicians of his day armed only with the secret knowledge of a hidden treasure and the uncertain aid of an ambitious prison chaplain. Enter a world of decadence and stolen moments of forbidden love with perverse puritans, promiscuous libertines, rich slave traders, and the Gin-Alley poor of London. Sail with marauding pirates from Port Royal to Madagascar to old New York. Here is the gritty, true-life story of two unlikely heroes both caught in a global struggle for power, monopolistic control of trade from Boston to Bombay, and a treasure of unimaginable wealth-all hinging on Kidd's confessions and the chaplain's final, impossible choice. Kidd and the Kingdom is a sweeping, epic tale of adventure, passion, intrigue, and the ultimate quest for freedom from bigotry, brutality, injustice, and the overwhelming forces of fate.
