Publisher Comments:

Jacky Faber, soldier, sailor, spy, and sometime pirate, condemned for life to the English prison colony in Australia for high crimes against the Crown, has once again wriggled out of the grasp of British authorities. Back on her flagship, the Lorelei Lee, she happily heads back to England in the company of dear friends and her beloved Jaimy Fletcher. 

    However, due to a typhoon, an earthquake, tidal waves, pirates, and her own impetuous nature, Jacky is cast into a world of danger that extends from the South China Sea to the equally treacherous waters of politics in Londons smoky dens of intrigue, deception, and betrayal. 

    Can she save herself from recapture and a final trip to the gallows? Can she also save her own dear Jaimy from the madness that seems to be overtaking his tortured mind? Devious Chinese businessmen, willowy Eurasian maidens, fierce Gurkhas, loyal friends, and wildly romantic highwaymen are all involved in this tale of love, courage, and redemption.

Synopsis:

"Bloody" Jacky Faber a proper Boston lady? Not if she can help it!

Excellent adventure for adolescents.
I keep going back & re-reading the series as they are magically written. Each oneis better than the next. Only weakness is the use of back story. Meyer should skip some of it. Fans know what's what & who's who.
Buy the whole series - you won't regret it. Careful of sharing though. You may not get them back!
