Black Bart
Gentleman Pirate of the High SeasBy Ceri Clark
Length1h 7m
About this audiobook
When fate drags Black Bart from the decks of a slave ship into the captain’s chair of a pirate vessel, Roberts builds something astonishing: a democratic empire afloat, complete with written articles, strict curfews, and Sunday sermons under stolen bishops' robes. He captures over four hundred ships in just three years, and makes powerful enemies in the process, including the Royal Navy.
But glory has a cost. As disease rips through his crew and his grip tightens into tyranny, the line between captain and despot begins to blur. And when the warship Swallow finally arrives to end his reign, Black Bart must choose: escape, or face death standing.
Trigger warning
This novel contains depictions of naval warfare, authoritarian leadership, historical execution methods (e.g., hanging, flogging), references to slavery and disease aboard 18th-century ships. All elements are grounded in historical fact and presented with sensitivity, but reader discretion is advised.
