Pirates!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2023

This book takes a big turn from the other books. It steps back to the golden age of piracy. Lots of turns and aha moments. Loved it. I was kind of concerned about something happening to a young character. Happy to say no harm.

This book, historical fiction about Florida settlers, a Port Royal brothel, and a pirates led by El Diablo Caesar, was compelling and left me thinking about it for days. Having already read a bunch of his work, I have become a big fan. I will read The Reef to see what's up with the heroine, Annabel , next.

Slow start, Excellent Ending

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2021

This book had a slow start and was predictable for the first half, but the storyline was good. Then the pace picked up, and the story got better. Overall, I enjoyed this book. If you like pirates, this book is for you.

I won this book as a Goodreads giveaway.

The book was a fun page turner and laugh out loud funny! The characters were endearing and I rooted for all of them. I am working my way through the series and it has become my respite from the madness of 2020.

I have enjoyed the Florida Frontier series up until The Brigand. Too much fantastical and not believable adventures of a super-girl.

This Is an Absolutely Great Book

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2020

Tim Robinson's imaginative powers never cease to amaze me. There are two main plotlines interwoven in this book--the story of Barney Habberstam's development and the kidnapping of young Arabelle, a mere child, by pirates. The way these two storylines intersect is fascinating.

We tremble with young Arabelle as the gnarled and nasty pirates threaten her--at the same time, there are very quickly hints that woman-like, she is going to take over the ship in time with her cooking and her good nature. One person stands in her way, of course--El Diablo, the brigand, the terror of the seas, who is the captain of this decidedly motley crew of pirates.

There are adventures on the high seas, fantastic descriptions, great use of symbols (look out for the powder blue ribbon and the way the beads tremble in Barney Habberstam's boyhood home--a house of prostitution). There is a full cast of unsavory characters, topped off by The Brigand himself, El Diablo. Then innocence in the form of Arabelle is unleashed upon them--with predictable conflicts and revolutionary results. Oh, and don't forget flamboyant Larry and his pet monkey.

Funny, touching, intriguing, adventurous--even including a story of possession--this book is a fabulous read. Don't miss its gritty realism mixed with the seeds of hope in human nature, all taking place on the high seas with hurricanes, shipwrecks, murder, and unbearable tension and sorrow all in the mix. Plus, it's laugh-out-loud funny! We all know pirates use all kinds of expletives on one another, like calling each other "swill-swallowin' swine"--but "figurehead-fondlin'" among a stream of other accusations is a new high in salty creativity.

Enjoy and be changed by learning that even the worst brigand has a wrenching story behind his evil deeds.

I felt at times this book was rather too long. It did have a lot of fun and interesting adventures though.
