Books 2 and 3 could have been better if they’d featured Blood’s love interest, Arabella. Instead we get much more solo adventures of Peter Blood and how he cleverly navigates the upper hand in various situations such as freeing a slave, seeking revenge, or helping damsels out of their distresses. The exploits are still witty and exciting, but I could have done with more sword fighting, battle scenes, and tales of Blood’s comrades. However, I was a little disappointed in this one. As it was with #2 in the series, the short story adventures of #3 take place within the time frame of #1. My Book Review: My enjoyable experiences with the first two Captain Blood books ( Captain Blood Captain Blood Returns) led me to the third and final installment of the trilogy by Rafael Sabatini. Plot Summary: The adventures of Captain Blood-gentleman doctor, turned rebel– continue to exasperate fellow pirates and the Spanish Main!
