Captain Cutlass - Gordon D. Shirreffs

Spur Award and Owen Wister Award-winner Gordon D. Shirreffs weaves an exhilarating tale set in an era preceding modern naval warfare-when pirates still roamed the high seas.

A swordsman with no equal...

Meet Captain Cutlass-a formidable swordsman. A blond, scarred giant of a buccaneer who commands both fear and respect. He is afraid of no man, and the few who dare to cross swords with him never live long enough to tell the tale.

Kate Devon is a she-devil pirate whose seafaring prowess rivals even that of Cutlass. Unyielding and unafraid, she harbors a unique love for the enigmatic captain. Yet, her loyalty is a double-edged sword, as betrayal is an integral part of pirate life, and bounty is their sustenance.

A fierce, violent tale of high passion and greed on the 17th-century Spanish seas.
