Welcome back to a special audiobook presentation from The Pirate Republic.

In this episode, the voyage continues with Chapter Three: Legends from Pirates of the Wild West, the first novel in the Storm of Time series.

Cast adrift in a world unfamiliar and strange, Blackbeard and the surviving pirate captains begin to understand the true weight of what has happened to them. Their presence is no longer hidden. Their names—once fearfully whispered in taverns and ports—carry little meaning here. Their appearance is being noticed though and not all attention is welcome.

As alliances shift and the scale of their displacement becomes clearer, the pirates are forced to confront an unsettling truth: they have not simply survived the storm—they have arrived in lands unknown.

This audiobook is released free, one chapter at a time, in the tradition of serialized storytelling.

Welcome back to this special audiobook presentation from The Pirate Republic.

In this episode, the journey continues with Chapter Two: The Emergence from Pirates of the Wild West, the first novel in the Storm of Time series.

After a violent and impossible storm tears Blackbeard and the pirate captains from Nassau Harbor, the survivors begin to awaken—only to discover that the world around them is no longer the one they know. The storm that claimed them has left behind something far more unsettling than wreckage.

As confusion spreads and alliances are tested, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary shipwreck… and no ordinary ocean.

This audiobook is released free, one chapter per week, in the tradition of serialized storytelling.

Welcome to a special audiobook presentation from The Pirate Republic.

In this episode, I begin releasing the complete audiobook of Pirates of the Wild West, the first novel in my Storm of Time series—one chapter at a time, every week, right here in the podcast feed.

Chapter One: The Pardon opens in Nassau Harbor in 1718, where Blackbeard and the most feared pirates of the Caribbean gather aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge. A royal pardon from the King of England offers forgiveness, wealth, and a way out of piracy—but not everyone trusts the Crown's promise. As tensions rise between legendary captains, a sudden and violent storm tears them from the harbor and into something far more dangerous than any navy.

This audiobook is presented free, in the tradition of oral storytelling—shared over time, chapter by chapter.
