Greetings, Adventure Seekers, from the treacherous frozen north.
Have you ever wondered if pirate villages, like in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean, actually existed, or thought, where did all that supposed pirate booty come from? Have you ever asked yourself who really were those pirates and were they as colorful as One-Eyed Willy from The Goonies? Buccaneers, Aztec gold, lost castaways, and Spanish Armadas, James Michener’s Caribbean has it all.
Learn about the birth of the two Americas and follow their colonies battle over gold, sugar and the Spanish Main, all while trying to navigate the harsh moralities of slavery.
Will Spanish wealth rule the Caribbean, will pirates terrorize and dominate the Spanish lake or will England’s shrewd empire win the day? Find out that and more, all while swashbuckling through James Michener’s Caribbean.
