Captain in Calico

Set in the perilous Caribbean seas of the eighteenth century, this lively stand-alone novel features the infamous pirate Captain John Rackham, known as Calico Jack. Renowned for being the first to fly the skull and crossbones, Rackham embodies the adventurous spirit and lawlessness of piracy. George MacDonald Fraser, celebrated for his Flashman series, brings this real-life antihero to life in an unpublished work discovered posthumously, offering a fresh glimpse into the world of swashbuckling adventure.
