"The best romantic pirate novel. Is about as authentic as Pirates of the Caribbean (that is, not at all)-but far more sophisticated. A swashbuckling good read, if you can get through the really melodramatic bits to see how great this story really is. " — Rebekah (5 out of 5 stars)

" Fantastic read! Captain Blood is a magnanimous gentleman who rules the seas - the Robin Hood of pirates. Epic read, great writing style, truly engaging. A must read. "
" I loved Sabatini's swashbuckling, good guy, bad situation epic. Captain Blood is a fictional compilation of several well known pirates a provides a nice escape to Caribbean. "
" Peter Blood is an Irish physician in England in the 1600's when he is arrested for treason and sent to Barbados as a slave. A very interesting tale as he becomes caught up in the world of naval battles and piracy. "
" Captain Blood is THE MAN ! A soldier, a doctor, a pirate, a lover, and even a politician. He does it all, which makes for a very fun, lively and interesting read. "
" A wonderful story of a cruel injustice that makes an outlaw of a gentleman, a dauntless damsel, Caribbean governors representing their European monarchs, and bold buccaneers. A delight. "
" Rollicking, fast paced fun. My only complaints are that i found it too long for the type of story it is and the language distractingly flowery. "
" Epic adventure; pretty similar to Scaramouch. :)The 2 are great examples of what a man should be. "
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.
