A voyage back to the seventeenth century and life on dangerous seas. In Tim Severin's fourth Pirate adventure, Privateer, Hector Lynch must escape a desert island and evade treacherous mercenaries to find his wife.

Hector Lynch, wanted by the authorities in London for piracy, has come to St Mary’s Island, near Madagascar, on his search for the elusive Libertalia - a settlement where it is said that all are allowed to live freely.

Here, he meets Captain Henry Avery, captain of the freebooter Fancy, which is sailing north through the Indian Ocean in search of a huge haul of gold. Avery requires a navigator, and persuades Hector and his friends Jacques and Jezreel to join the voyage, with the promise that they should be free to leave if they come across the fabled Libertalia on their travels.

Although Hector is reluctant to return once more to a life of piracy, his desperation to find a place he can finally settle with his wife Maria draws him in. The Fancy joins forces with other notorious pirate ships, including Thomas Tew’s Amity, and as they sail up through the Arabian Sea, they encounter a convoy of the Grand Mogul’s ships, including the Ganj-i-Sawa’i, the ‘Exceeding Treasure’, laden with riches. Soon, Hector finds himself caught up in one of the most deadly plunders in history . . .

Hector Lynch and his companions are in the Caribbean, diving to plunder a wreck on the notorious Vipers reef, when they are spotted by a passing Spanish ship. To prevent news of their activities getting out, they cripple the Spanish vessel by burning her sails - an act of piracy - and then head for their base in Tortuga. There Hector's wife Maria awaits, for she and Hector are planning a better life for themselves - this time on the right side of the law.

But a chance encounter at sea means that Hector and his comrades run afoul of Laurens de Graff - renowned swashbuckling mercenary captain - now in command of a royal French frigate. Slipping from de Graff's clutches, Hector and his friends are cast away on the tiny desert island, Salt Tortuga.

Hector tries desperately to make his way back to Maria, meanwhile she has decided to undertake the hazardous journey to find him. Hector's adventures and Maria's tenacity lead them towards Port Royal in Jamaica - known as the wickedest city on earth. And Hector, accused of piracy, once more enters a world he had sworn to leave behind.

Sailing the Caribbean, Hector Lynch falls into the hands of the notorious buccaneer, Captain John Coxon, who mistakes him for the nephew of the Governor of Jamaica—an error Hector encourages. Coxon delivers Hector to a bitter enemy of Governor Lynch, expecting to curry favor, but is publicly humiliated when the deception is revealed. From then on, Hector has a dangerous enemy.

Abandoned in Peru, Hector learns that Maria, the young Spanish woman who stole his heart and whose false testimony saved him from the gallows, is now living on the far side of the Pacific. Hector's epic voyage to reach her involves a Japanese warlord who submits trespassers to a deadly duel, a naked Stone Age tribe who file their teeth to sharp points, and sailboats that outpace the fastest galleon.

Sigwulf, a Saxon prince exiled to the court of Carolus, King of the Franks, is summoned by the royal advisor Alcuin of York. Carolus has recieved magnificent gifts from the Caliph of Baghdad and is determined to send back presents that will be equally sensational. White is the royal colour of Baghdad so the most important gifts will be rare white animals from the Northlands.

Having proved himself as a royal agent to Moorish Spain, has been selected to obtain the creatures, then take them to Baghdad. He must find white gyrfalcons and two white polar bears and - as Carolus has seen its picture in a book of beasts - a unicorn.

He and his companions travel far into the north. Though they obtain some of the animals, they quickly realize that not all are even real. Setting out for Baghdad with their menagerie, they encounter danger after danger and it seems that someone is trying to wreck their mission ...with each stage of the long journey bringing a new and unexpected peril ...

Саксонец Зигвульф — свирепый воин и умелый дипломат. Ему не впервой выполнять деликатные поручения своего повелителя — Карла Великого, могущественнейшего из владык западного мира. Но даже с его опытом будет нелегко разобраться в хитросплетении интриг Вечного города, где неизвестные заговорщики объявили охоту на самого Папу Римского…

Когда величайший из владык Западного мира решает наладить дипломатические отношения с могущественным правителем Востока, он делает поистине королевский жест. Карл Великий решает отправить в подарок Харуну ар-Рашиду самых удивительных животных, которых только возможно найти в его владениях: огромного тура, белых медведей и — диковина из диковин — легендарного единорога. Конечно, всех этих существ надо сперва раздобыть, но для этого у короля есть верные слуги. Честь разыскать редкостных зверей и доставить их через полмира, из Ахена в Багдад, выпала Зигвульфу, саксонскому принцу без королевства...

Саксонский королевич Зигвульф потерял на войне семью, владения, богатства — все, кроме благородного имени и самой жизни. Его победитель, король англов, отправляет пленника франкскому королю Карлу Великому в качестве посла, а вернее, благородного заложника.

Seventeen-year-old Hector Lynch wakes to the sound of a pistol shot as the Barbary corsairs raid his village, and he and his sister are snatched. Separated from each other, Hector is sold at auction in Algiers, and thrown into a bewildering world where life is cheap and only the quick-witted survive. In North Africa, Hector befriends fellow captive Dan, a Miskito Indian from the Caribbean, and the two men convert to Islam to escape the horrors of the slave barracks - only to become victims of the deadly warfare of the Mediterranean. Serving aboard a Turkish ship, their vessel is sunk at sea and by a savage twist of fortune they are chained to the oar bench of a French galley. Desperate to find his sister, Hector finally stumbles on the chilling truth of her fate when he and Dan are shipwrecked on the coast of Morocco.

Frankia 780 AD

Sigwulf, a minor Saxon prince, is saved from execution after his family is slaughtered by the ruthless King Offa of Mercia. Thanks to his Devil's Mark - his eyes of different colours - Sigwulf is exiled to the Frankish court of King Carolus, the future Charlemagne.

He gains the friendship of Count Hroudland, Carolus's powerful and ambitious nephew - but, mysteriously, several attempts are made on Sigwulf’s life. When he obtains a Book of Dreams, a rare text giving understanding to the meaning of dreams, he attracts the attention of Carolus himself. But the Book proves to be a slippery guide in a world of double dealing. Sent into Spain to spy on the Saracens, Sigwulf becomes caught between loyalties; either he honours his debt to new Saracen friends, or he serves his patron Count Hroudland in his quest for glory, gold and even the Grail itself...

One after another Sigwulf's predictions come true, but often not as expected, and he finds himself swept forward into a final great battle that reveals who his enemies are...
