In this outing Hector Lynch and his friends are in the Pacific. Hector has fallen in love with Spanish girl, Maria, who was introduced in the previous story, Buccaneer. He is searching for her among the Pacific islands, as he believes she is to be located in a far flung Spanish outpost.
I have to say found this book the most enjoyable adventure so far. Hector and the lads come across many strange people and adventures as they cross the Pacific. The search for Maria, gives the plot added momentum, also.
