Bucaneer

About the Book

Buccaneers is an exciting account of the sack of Panama. In the year of our Lord, 1668 AD, Timothy O’Leary jumped ship and swam to a Caribbean Island occupied by escaped Maroons and runaway white men who made a living by killing wild cows and smoking the meat to sell to ships headed for the New World. Soon this Irish lad beat this island of wild men into a well disciplined group who with stolen Spanish ships captured the treasures of  Spain! Torn between the love of a proper English girl and a former prostitute from Portobello, O’Leary brought the seeds of democracy to the New World.
