Born in a coastal Welsh village in 1684 Jonas  Robinson dreams of escaping a life of hardship and factory labour for the freedom of the sea. When he becomes the new cabin boy aboard a mysterious Dutch merchant ship, he soon discovers the truth - the vessel is not what he first thought it was.

As Jonas grows into the role of Captain Red, he must navigate far more than storms and capture. He also needs to deal with a boyhood enemy, the dangerous Billy De Ghrondelle and pursuit by Captain Robert Pellew of the British navy.

Though feared across the Atlantic, Captain Red is not ruthless or bloodthirsty like most pirates. Prisoners are spared, crews of captured ships are given a chance to survive and much of the gold, silver and jewellrey he steals helps build an island community in the Caribbean where freed slaves and their families are able to live in peace.

Rich with historical atmoshere, unforgettable characters and high seas adventure, Captain Red is a tale of courage, loyalty, friendship and hidden treasure.
