A classic tale of adventure and romance, Rafael Sabatini's "Captain Blood" tells the story of Peter Blood, doctor and military veteran, who is mistaken for a rebel, arrested, tried and transported to Barbados where he is sold into slavery. Escaping his captivity during a raid on the colony, Blood and his fellow convicts capture a Spanish ship and sail off to become the most successful pirates in the Caribbean. "Captain Blood" is Sabatini at his very best, succeeding as both an adventure novel and powerful discourse on the evils of slavery and injustice.

Rafael Sabatini (1875–1950) was the son of two opera singers. Schooled in England and Switzerland, he would learn many languages. His first job was as a translator, and he would later translate for British Intelligence during World War I. He began writing historical romances for fun, and after publishing his first story in the mid 1890s, produced a new book every year for the next twenty five years.
