Más información sobre el libro
In 1665, Jamaica is a rough outpost of the English crown, struggling against the Spanish empire. Port Royal, its capital, is a dangerous town filled with taverns and vice, where life can end abruptly. For Captain Charles Hunter, this harsh existence offers the potential for wealth if he adheres to the island's code. Gold in Spanish hands is ripe for the taking, and in the New World, law is determined by those bold enough to seize it. Rumors circulate that the Spanish treasure galleon El Trinidad, recently arrived from New Spain, is stranded in nearby Matanceros harbor for repairs. This heavily fortified Spanish outpost is commanded by the ruthless Cazalla, a favored commander of King Philip IV. With the governor's support, Hunter gathers a crew of misfits to infiltrate the enemy territory and capture the galleon, along with its treasure. The raid proves as perilous as the legends surrounding Matanceros, costing Hunter more than one crew member before he reaches the island. There, dense jungles and Spanish infantry stand between him and the gold. With his cunning crew, Hunter successfully hijacks El Trinidad and narrowly escapes Cazalla's pursuit, leaving chaos in his wake. However, his challenges are far from over.
