**** SPOILER ALERT **** To quote The History Guy from YouTube "Don't all great stories involve pirates?". Well these sixteen intrepid authors think so.. The editor of this anthology is to be commended for their expertise in "herding the cats...err, authors" in getting this volume put together. Every one of the authors did a fantastic job of crafting each of their worlds and developing their characters. I've shared a thought or two about each entry below. I recommend this book highly.
In "The Captive Vixen" Farmer draws the reader in quickly with a twist. The pirate is a gentleman. I look forward to reading more of the author's work.
In "The Lady And The Privateer" Bennett superbly balances action, and exposition while weaving a sea story combining pirates, romance and scientific research. I'd like to explore more of Bennett's writing.
In "The Stormswept Stowaway", St. Clair shows that pirates aren't what popular media has taught us that they are.
"Ths Bruce's Angel"... Lee gives us an interesting twist. A lady pirate.
"Marooned" Markland pens a lovely tale of redemption.
In "The Pleasure Of A Pirate" Sande brings back two characters from "Epiphany Of An Explorer". The H.M.S. Molly and Blake Russell, now her captain. Yes, I said two characters and one of them is a ship, as the various iterations of "Star Trek" TV series have shown, a ship can be just as much a character as a human.
In "The Lady's Guide To Escaping Cannibals" De Maupassant wrote an astounding story, with hints of "Indiana Jones". I truly hope the author will consider expanding it into a full length novel.
With "Falcon" Barker has the bones of a good story.
With "The Dark Heart Of The Sea" Barclay delivers a fine sea yarn.
In "Jilted And Kilted" Pride gifts us with a bonnie wee tale.
In "Runaway Duke" Cinders shares a very nice story, I read it twice.
In "Rescued By Passion" Purinton gifts us a story with plenty of twists and turns.
In "An Imperfect Scoundrel" Drake delivers a very twist filled tale. I did NOT see the twist at the end coming.
In "The Spinster's Guide To Piracy And Plunder" Williams shares a great story with a fleet of lady pirates who'd druther be privateers.
In "Pirate's Treasure" Stone tells, very well, a time travelling pirate romance
In "Shieldmaiden" Leigh shows an interesting character trajectory for Mercia/Gunhildr, the titular shieldmaiden of the story.
In the interest of transparency: I was given a review copy of this book and I am voluntarily sharing this review. It is my own honest opinion. ( )
