Long John Silver & the Pirates #30

The crew of the Hispanola is rife with treachery as the ship sails toward Treasure Island—and Long John Silver finds himself caught between the mutineers plotting to seize the gold and the officers they mean to betray. With his wooden leg and cunning wit, Silver plays a dangerous game, joining the mutiny while secretly working to protect Captain Smollett and young Jim Hawkins from the crew's murderous greed. As the search for buried treasure begins on the island, Silver must outmaneuver the cutthroats who trust him before their bloodlust spirals beyond his control.

Long John Silver sets sail from Bristol with a crew and a well-armed brig, hunting Spanish gold along the Main—but when he captures a treasure-laden Spanish vessel, a strategically timed detour lands him and his men in a French prison instead. Faced with a Spanish fleet attacking the very port that holds them captive, Silver strikes a deal with the French commander: help defend the harbor, and earn their freedom.

When Neil Barton signs on as mate aboard a ship bound for the remote island of Puenta del Fuega, he discovers that his employer, C.S.

After both Neil and Ellen are abandoned on the island under the brutal control of Randall's overseer Ramos, they lead the oppressed workers in a desperate uprising to reclaim their freedom. Now they must defend their newfound home when Randall returns with armed men to recapture what he believes is rightfully his.
