Saladin's Sword: A Papal Treasure

Flying a Dutch flag the Vandetta is parked alongside the dock in the port of Kingston Jamaica. On board meeting secretly are four pirate captains-three former royal navy captains and a Duke of the Realm-making a plan to exact revenge and retribution on those responsible for their loss of income status position and reputation. The four compiled a list of the people who had caused them even the slightest provocation during the last twenty years focusing on those who had forced them into the cut-throat world of piracy. Fierce battles ensue and in the process they capture a princess and steal her dowry and gold bullion from a ship in the dead of night. They also commandeer three Spanish treasure ships and using the melted gold they commit a major forgery by selling the gilded gold to greedy corrupt government officials. A tale of the high seas Saladins Sword narrates a story of treachery adventure and betrayal.
