About this ebook
Gunpowder and Galleons plunges readers into the fevered, treacherous streets and sunbaked docks of Port Royal in 1665. When Sir James Almont, Governor of Jamaica, confronts privateers, executions, and a never-ending tide of ships and rumors, the colony’s fragile order teeters on the edge. Richly atmospheric and vividly detailed, the novel follows power, profit, and peril in a boomtown where loyalties shift as swiftly as the tides. Fans of historical adventure will find immersive period detail, tense moral conflicts, and seafaring drama as the island’s social and political faults are laid bare. Taut, character-driven, and evocative, this book evokes the danger and allure of the Caribbean’s golden age of sail without sacrificing historical verisimilitude.
