The Adventure Galley Volume 1: Captain Morgan's Treasure

Marie-Helene Therrien and Steve Garvie

In 1674, Captain Kidd aboard the Adventure Galley, narrowly escaped the attack of Captain Henry Morgan, a privateer who returned to the Caribbean after a few years of captivity in England, at the request of the Queen of Spain, for storming Panama City with more than 1,000 men. Henry Morgan, a poor navigator but an excellent strategist, had a reputation for being the cruellest pirate of his time, but Charles II, King of England, nevertheless decided to appoint him a knight.

Henry Morgan plundered many treasures, but mutineers will steal the most precious he has ever possessed.

This novel, based on real events, evokes Captains Kidd and Morgan's lives, leading readers on a hectic adventure.
