"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)

" Peter Blood has just retired from his youthful adventures (at age 32) to be a simple English doctor. But when he is convicted of treason for helping a wounded man, his life takes another dramatic turn. Shipped as a slave to an English plantation, Blood will not accept captivity willingly. A daring escape leaves him captain of a ship, and his keen bent for strategy makes him a fearsome foe. The original gentleman-pirate book. "
" Amazing, fun, loved every swash-buckling second! "
" Exciting parts, as well as slow parts. But overall it was good. "

" Excellent pirate adventure story. "
" [Audio] Great book, exciting constantly moving story that ranges through Peter Blood's ordeals. Errol Flynn's movie was certainly good, but it couldn't cover the scope of this book. Great swashbuckling tale! "
" Great book. It was easy to read. "
" Refreshing and simple, but good to read someone who has mastered and who is the antithesis of the genera. Charming and entertaining "
" A rousing good adventure story. "
" Easily one of my favorites. It is definitely an adventure book written by a man, but it is great. "
" James loves pirates and he picked this book for me. "
" A good read, completely not what I was expecting! "
" A fun read! Captain Blood is impossibly admirable and dashing. It's a well-done story with clear good guys and bad guys. Sometimes that's just what a reader needs. "
" this is a true blue swash buckler and a good love story to boot! "
" For the adventure or pirate fan, there isn't much else I've read that's better, and I am greatly endeared to teh character of Peter Blood. I find that Sabatini's character driven adventure storty-telling works quite well, and I 'm a fan. "
" All ye need, me hearties: a good story about a formidable man who turns pirate, personable characters, with witty dialogue and prose. Just fun. "
" All time favorite. Read it about 6-7 times. Can read a couple of times more ^_^ "
" 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. "
" 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. "
" 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.
