infamous 'gentleman of fortune' Captain Flint is captured by the
Royal Navy and condemned to hang for mutiny and piracy, it seems
that the secret location of his buried treasure will die with him.
But Flint has an audacious plan to gain command of ship and crew
before they reach London and escape the hangman's noose. Meanwhile,
aboard Flint's former vessel The Walrus, Long John Silver seeks one

only to fall into a trap - so Silver must give chase to save the
woman he loves. Once more Flint and Silver's paths are converging
... and it will bring them a vast fortune or certain death.
The second in the rip-roaring adventure series of 'Treasure Island'
prequels for fans of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Once
comrades-in-arms, now sworn enemies, Joseph Flint and Long John
Silver have a score to settle. Marooned on a remote Caribbean
island with his loyal crew and a fortune in buried treasure, Silver
awaits the return of the man who left him there. In order to defeat
Silver and claim the island back as his, Flint will need to raise
an army - no easy feat for the man most wanted by the Royal Navy.
But with disease running rampant on the Island and the net closing
on Flint, time is running out for both men. But who will survive -
and who will get the gold?
Rip-roaring adventures for fans of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and
Patrick O' Brian, in these pirate prequels to 'Treasure Island'.
When all your friends are dead, there's no choice but to join the
enemy... After pirates stormed his merchant's ship, massacring all
around them, they found one opponent who wouldn't go down: John
Silver. And so with six men dead at his hand, Silver is made an
offer he can't refuse: join them or die. On the other side of the
world, the legendary Captain Flint is the meanest, most dangerous
bandit on the high seas. He fears no another man - until he meets
fellow freebooter 'Gentleman' John Silver. Together, they forge a
formidable partnership as villains-in-arms. But there's more to
piracy than rum, sodomy and the lash... there's gold, hundreds of
thousands of pieces of it, enough for everyone, in fact - until the
arrival of Selina, a beautiful runaway slave, triggers a violent
jealousy that turns these best of friends into sworn enemies. And
as Flint schemes to secure the vast loot for himself, the legend of
Treasure Island begins...
