"Aye—why!" cried Belvedere, gnashing his teeth. "Ask her—go ask Joanna, the curst jade."

"She be only a woman, when all's said, Cap'n—"

"Nay, Job," quoth Belvedere, shaking his head. "She's Joanna and behind her do lie Tressady and Sol and Rory and Abnegation Mings—and all the Fellowship. So if she says he lives, lives it is, to lie soft and feed dainty, curse him. Let me die if I don't wish I'd left her on the island to end him her own way—wi' steel or kindness—"

I'd give 5 stars to the first half--which with pirate queen Joanna brings in a character equally volcanic as the narrator, Martin Conisby--and 3 to the second half.

Humph.

Martin was a fool in the first book, and his intellect does not improve in this narrative. An added disappointment is the Lady Joan wasn't in it as much. Instead we are treated to Joanna, a fierce, violent, evil wench. I wished a coconut would fall and knock her senseless. I have no liking fo

This is the sequel to Black Bartlemy's Treasure at the end of which Martin Conisby is deserted on an island.
