Captain Blood Returns is a 1931 British historical adventure novel by Rafael Sabatini. It is the second in Sabatini's trilogy about the character after Captain Blood (1922) and was followed by The Fortunes of Captain Blood (1936). ★ About Author: Rafael Sabatini (29 April 1875 - 13 February 1950) was an Italian/English writer of novels of romance and adventure. He is best known for his worldwide best-sellers The Sea Hawk (a tale of an Elizabethan Englishman among the pirates of the Barbary Coast), Captain Blood (in which the title character is admiral of a fleet of pirate ships), two additional Captain Blood books comprising short stories, but they are not sequels: The Chronicles of Captain Blood a.k.a. Captain Blood Returns, and The Fortunes of Captain Blood), and The Black Swan. ★ About Book: The Chronicles of Captain Blood (a.k.a. Captain Blood Returns) is a fictional work and all characters are drawn from the Sabatini's imagination. Captain blood is the much-loved story of a physician and gentleman turned pirate. Peter blood, wrongfully accused and sentenced to death, narrowly escapes his fate and finds himself in the company of buccaneers. Blood becomes the "Robin Hood" of the Spanish seas. This is swashbuckling adventure at its best. ★ Captain Blood Returns Excerpt: The Odyssey of Captain Blood, given to the world some years ago, was derived from various sources, disclosed in the course of its compilation. Of these the most important is the log of the Arabella, kept by the young Somersetshire shipmaster Jeremy Pitt. This log amounts to just such a chronicle of Blood's activities upon the Caribbean as that which Esquemeling, in similar case, has left of the exploits of that other great buccaneer, Sir Henry Morgan. The compilation of the Odyssey, whilst it exhausted all other available collateral sources of information, was very far from exhausting the material left by Pitt. From that log of his were taken only those episodes which bore more or less directly upon the main outline of Blood's story, which it was then proposed to relate and elucidate. The selection presented obvious difficulties; and omissions, reluctantly made, were compelled by the necessity of presenting a straightforward and consecutive narrative. Caption blood series is an adventure story and is recommended for those interested in seafaring and Pirates of the Caribbean area. This book has inspired filmmakers and even the video game industry. ★ This Book Note: This book consists of the original edition, a pure standard experience not scanned or photocopy.
