The age of sailing ships and the great geographical discoveries—the golden age of piracy. Every time you go to sea is a lottery. You might come back fabulously rich—or spend the rest of your life in slavery chains, or even lose your life altogether. Our hero has no illusions: dying here is far more likely than reaching old age in luxury, surrounded by loving relatives. So why worry? There’s a goal, there’s revenge. And dying isn’t new to him—so it’s only forward. Raise the sails! Where there is victory!
