Captain Shark

CAPTAIN
SEBASTIAN SHARK

Baptized
in blood and fire, he's a buccaneer captain of the Caribbean in the seventeenth
century. Those were adventurous years, when men dared to seek their fortunes
between the deadly horrors of the Spanish Inquisition and seas infested with
cutthroat pirate ships.

Shark
was such a man, an adventurer who had faced Henry Morgan at Panama, escaped
from the Barbary Corsairs, and sailed through countless battles across the
Spanish Main.

He
considered his life merely a ticket to an uncertain future, hopefully filled
with good wine, chests of gold, a fiery woman or two ... and a sturdy ship to
meet the enemy and a never-ending horizon.

<i>Come
aboard for a breathtaking race into the glorious past, when the seas churned with ships
at war, when the skies were clouded with the smoke of battle, and the
sounds of
cannon and cutlass tore the air. Not since Rafael Sabatini's Captain Blood has
there been a tale of pirates and buccaneers as authentic and as exciting as
this ... watch
for the next adventure of Captain Shark!</i>
