The Pelican: Retribution for Mercy

The long-awaited edition of a continuation of the story about seafarers by popular blogger and fic-writer Jack Gelb! The second book in the pirate duology about revenge and retribution! Jack Gelb’s TikTok videos are racking up more than two million views, and the fan base is growing at a geometric pace. Jack Gelb writes in the alternative history genre, describing a whole layer of human destinies across different centuries. Her debut novel “Goyda” started with 10,000 copies and made it onto the shortlist for the “Eksmo. Debut” award! “Pelican. Payment for Mercy” takes us to the “golden age” of piracy—when circumnavigation voyages and military conquests flourished. Love, hatred, war, cowardice, and courage intertwine into a tight knot aboard the greatest of all pirates’ ship. The cover was illustrated by the wonderful Selann, a popular Russian artist. Her unmistakable authorial style conveys every shade of the hero’s triumph and despair, urging us to look into his past and worry about his future.
