Narra la leggenda che il Capitano Ron Anejo viva nella isole dei Caraibi, nessuno sa di preciso dove, ma è…
certo che laggiù tutti conoscano il suo nome, perchè se ti trovi nei guai, lui è l'uomo giusto per tirartene fuori, e, basterà chiedere di lui e sarà lui stesso a trovarti come ogni supereroe leggendario farebbe. Quando un uomo decide di avventurarsi nel mar dei Caraibi, solo, incosciente, senza alcuna esperienza nella navigazione, e con una visione un po' troppo romantica di cosa significhi vivere su di una barca ai tropici, allora questa non può che essere la premessa di una infinita serie di disgraziatissime e strampalate avventure. Questo tipo di avventure sono però proprio quelle che finiscono per rapirti il cuore e fare di un uomo qualunque un vero lupo di mare.Paradise Rules

Swashbuckling adventure during the great Age of Sail.With Bonaparte held to a stalemate in Europe, the race to empire is…
now resumed. Britain's ambitions turn to the Spice Islands, the Dutch East Indies, where Admiral Pellew has been sent to confront the enemy's vastly rich holdings in these tropical islands. Captain Sir Thomas Kydd joins reinforcements to snatch these for the British Crown.The two colonial masters of India and the East Indies face each other in mortal striving for the region - there can be only one victor to hold all the spoils. The colonial genius, Stamford Raffles, believes Britain should strike at the very centre of Dutch spice production, the Moluccas, rather than the fortresses one by one but is fiercely opposed. Kydd, allying himself to this cause, conspires to lead a tiny force to a triumphant conclusion - however the Dutch, stung by this loss, claim vengeance from the French. A battle for Java and an empire in the East stretches Kydd and Tyger's company to their very limits.*************Praise for Julian Stockwin's Kydd series'In Stockwin's hands the sea story will continue to entrance readers across the world' Guardian'Paints a vivid picture of life aboard the mighty ship-of-the-line' Daily Express'This heady adventure blends fact and fiction in rich, authoritative detail' Nautical Magazine'Fans of fast-paced adventure will get their fill with this book' Historical Naval Society(P) 2022 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
