Summary:

Born in the Welsh countryside in 1655, Henry Morgan is captured as a youth by Spanish raiders and carried off to Santiago de Cuba to a life of cruel servitude. Morgan bides his time and eventually escapes, stealing a prison ship and rescuing a crew of hardened freebooters in the process.

With vengeance in his heart, Morgan sets out to harry the Dons. Before long, the turquoise waters of the Spanish Main run red with blood. No Spanish treasure ship or guarded port is safe -- he is Captain Mad Morgan, "El Tigre de Caribe", the most feared buccaneer and a figure of dread throughout the Caribbean. From his stronghold on the sultry island of Jamaica, Morgan finds treachery in the arms of a beautiful temptress. Betrayed to his enemies, he emerges triumphant in an adventure that culminates in Morgan's infamous and bloody conquest of the supposedly impregnable Spanish port of Panama City. Told in stunning detail and with breathtaking pace, Mad Morgan is an adventure tale rich with violence, passion and revenge that will captivate readers until the last, thrilling page is turned.
