Italian-English writer Rafael Sabatini had several best-selling novels in the early twentieth century, including the memorable Captain Blood. The clever pirate was so popular that Sabatini decided to continue with the character in a series of books. Its second installment, Captain Blood Returns, was originally published in 1931 and is a group of short stories which follow Captain Blood on more of his thrilling adventures and heroic feats. Finding treasure, saving his crew, and outsmarting his enemies, Captain Blood emerges victorious again in the second book of this swashbuckling saga.
Captain Blood, the remarkable physician turned pirate returns for more thrilling adventures at sea. Time and again, he falls headlong into deep peril, each time emerging victorious. Yet when everything is stacked against him, can he keep his honour until the bitter end?
