But fresh trouble soon brews in their Caribbean paradise, for the new Governor sent out from England views Ned's Brethren of the Coast as a gang bloodthirsty pirates. And he promptly puts them outside the law. The Governor ignores Ned's warning that peace in Europe has not changed Spain's aggressive policies in the West Indies - the Spanish king regards the islands as his private estate, and any foreign trespassers risk death. Ned and Sir Thomas refuse to remain idle while the self-satisfied Governor weakens their defences and wrecks the currency. They are soon off on a dangerous but profitable skirmish along the Spanish Main... |
Cromwell is dead! - Now King Charles II has been restored to the throne of faraway England. And in Jamaica, Ned Yorke, the leader of the Buccaneers, and his second-in-command, Sir Thomas Whetstone, can begin building fine new houses on their plantations.|
