Pirate's Gold John P. Ranney

Felony crime on the high seas, an 18th century world populated by colorful diverse peoples, now invaded by a giant pirate ship stolen from the Royal Navy; to wage mayhem across the globe, Captain Jeb Cornwallis and his swashbuckling comrades cut a swathe through European empires whose colonies provide the raw wealth for posturing kings, their aristocratic courts. Each individual must pass through a scale of judgment, each moment stacked with the odds of life and death. Pirates whose fate has already been cast, yet one of them is freed from the shackles of lust and greed. Jeb Cornwallis undergoes a spiritual transformation. India, land of yogic giants, he is stranded there to begin a higher, transcendental adventure.
