The breathtaking island of Makassang, in the Java Sea, is the setting for this tremendous historical novel. Piracy, plundering and barbarism are rife. The ageing Rajah, threatened by rebellion, enlists the help of Richard Marriott - baronet's son-turned-buccaneer, but Richard falls for the Rajah's daughter.
