Review
“This high-seas tale set in the 19th century offers plenty of full-blooded salty characters, cunning dialogue, surprises around every corner and a classic battle between good and evil.” Publisher’s Weekly
“A fine conclusion, sure to please the many readers who enjoyed the first two books in this richly atmospheric trilogy.” Booklist
Product Description
A swashbuckling thriller, part three of THE HIGH SEAS ADVENTURES, set on the oceans at the turn of the nineteenth century – drama, horror, adventure…
"There's pirates in the West Indies. Cannibals. They cook you alive. They shrink your head to the size of a walnut," says Mr Spencer to his son. These words will haunt sixteen-year-old John Spencer as he embarks on his first voyage to foreign lands. Carrying cargo destined for Jamaica, John and his Dragon crew set off from London for waters few of them have sailed before. When they come upon a lifeboat adrift at sea, some are wary of the sailor aboard. His name is Horn, and something about this imposing and mysterious sailor isn't right. He carries a chest full of clinking glass, and his story doesn't quite make sense. Still, John respects the stranger's awe-inspiring seamanship. With Horn on deck, both John and the ship's captain believe the Dragon is in the best of hands.
But is Horn to be trusted? The answers become more and more complicated as the Dragon encounters a very real – and very dangerous – pirate ship. Now John starts to believe his father's warnings, especially after he becomes separated from his shipmates and is stranded on an island reputed to conceal buried treasure. A place teeming with buccaneers…
Brimming with furious high-seas adventure, this companion to The Wreckers and The Smugglers concludes with a bloodcurdling tale of pirates – and a surprise ending…

I thought the book was hard to start but t was got better after a cupple chapters. There was alot of action latter in the book. I like a book wth alot of action in the whole book so i might be differnt for other people.
Once agn he only part I did not like is the begining. Al they did was sail around. I thought it good at the part with the storm. Also when they got to the island.
Over all t was very good book. I woul recamend you read the first two books before this one they do not talk about the characters very much. I like the plot and theme of this book. it was a good book.
There are many great things about this book. I really appreciated how the author used descriptive words in almost every sentence. I also really liked the setting of the story, Central American waters in the early 1800's.
What can I say, the author did such a good job writing this book there is not to much he can improve on. He could probably describe the characters a little better though.
In the long run I would give this book a rating of five on a scale from one to five.
