James Cutlass and the Pirate King

By: Benjamin Knight Hunt

Narrated by: Jake Ruddle

Pirates. Those notorious scum of the sea. Those men who make a living defiling other's majestic ships. Robbing the rich and poor alike. Having no mercy. And taking no prisoners.

In a time when pirates ravage the seas, Damean Briggs' mutinous crew kidnaps the admiral's daughter, Penelope. James Cutlass must join forces with pirates to find her and combat the murderous Pirate King. Neither allies nor enemies are ever as they seem out on the great seas!

Forced to trust such strangers, will James be able to save his friend, or will they all meet their miserable demise in Davy Jones' locker?

Does a life at sea

Interest young thee?

Then I'll tell you the way to go

Merchants too kind

The navy be blind

With Pirates is where ye belong

It be the best way

But just know you'll stay

It's a life ye shan't e'er leave!

Exciting pirate adventure

This is a well written exciting pirate adventure. It is filled with everything you hope for in a Pirate tale. I enjoyed the twists and surprises! The story moved at the perfect pace and kept me engaged. The narration was great, I enjoys the different characters voices, which made it easy to follow, and the pirate language that made it believable.And even a pirate song. I highly recommend this book, and I can’t wait for book 2!

Great story!

James is twelve when pirates overcome the British navy on the island where he lives with his uncle the Baron. One of James friends is a retired pirate, but those nearer his age are almost ordinary. It's nearing the end of lucrative pirating, and the villain of the piece is after the map James father had been murdered for. Great story! I loved it!
Jake Ruddle sounds perfect as narrator.

Enjoyable Pirate fantasy for all ages

This book is geared towards young adults, but you’re never too old to enjoy a good pirate story. The book is fairly short, at just under five hours, so it moves along at a decent pace. Even though you don’t spend much time with the characters, you do get to know them. The author does a good job bringing actual historical characters into his fantasy novel as well. Unfortunately, the plot was fairly predictable though. That being said, I still enjoyed the story and I’m looking forward to book two. The narrator does a great job with this book. He really brings the characters to life and he can belt out a decent pirate shanty tune. Overall, this was an enjoyable listen and I’m looking forward to book two.

I was given a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Left a map by his father, James must face down Blackbeard to rescue an Admirals daughter. I loved the characters and adventure of the plot and it took me back to the Treasure Island and Swiss Family Robinson. I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
