The Blackbirder

Brethren of the Coast, Book 2

De: James L. Nelson

Narrado por: James Cameron Stewart

In a blind rage, King James, ex-slave and now Marlowe's comrade in arms, slaughters the crew of a slave ship and makes himself the most wanted man in Virginia. The governor gives Marlowe a choice: Hunt James down and bring him back to hang or lose everything Marlowe has built for himself and his wife, Elizabeth.

Marlowe sets out in pursuit of the ex-slave turned pirate, struggling to maintain control over his crew—rough privateers who care only for plunder—and following James's trail of destruction. But Marlowe is not James's only threat, as factions aboard James's own ship vie for control and betrayal stalks him to the shores of Africa.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and Needed.

Author, James L. Nelson takes the horrific subject of slave ships and slavery to a place where we cannot let go .. we have to 'see' it, smell it and wretch with this unholy example of man's inhumanity to man. .. Researched to the smallest detail and with every one of the reader's senses affected by his words, Nelson has told - in this one story - thousands of experiences of beautiful, enslaved human beings who did not have a voice, who were not heard in Life.

a piradical depiction of blackbirders

James Nelson hits it out of the park again giving it a historical depiction of blackbirders seeing through The eyes of a freed slave and a former pirate book 2 in his pirate round series filled with historical facts and plenty of action it has a lot of the horrors of slavery depicted in the book but it does not dwell on it overly, tells you about the history and about the people but it is also a fun fiction book
