More DescriptionIn 1670 Henry Morgan sacked the city of Panama with an army of 2500 pirates, buccaneers and adventurers. This is the story of one of them...Orphaned young by Spaniards who raid his Caribbean island home, Dirk van Cortlandt enters piracy-the Sweet Trade-to seek revenge.

The voyage, meant to be Dirk's last, endangers his ship, his friends and beloved, and brings him face to face with the personal weakness that may prove fatal to them all.
