This tale regards the piratical adventures of Adam on the Spanish Main, together with his companion Antonia who has gone adventuring in the guise of a boy. Even critics who''d been hard on Farnol were won over by this one. The best book from his last period, it is something of a sequel to, & making a trilogy of Black Bartlemy''s Treasure and Martin Conisby''s Vengeance despite having a different central hero.
