The incredible story of the Robin Hood of the Seas, who absconded with millions during the Golden Age of Piracy and who harbored an even greater secret.Henry Avery of Devon pillaged a fortune from a Mughal ship off the coast of India and then vanished into thin airand into legend. More ballads, plays, biographies and books were written about Averys adventures than any other pirate. His contemporaries crowned him 'the pirate king' for pulling off the richest heist in pirate history and escaping with his head intact (unlike Blackbeard and his infamous Flying Gang). Avery was now the most wanted criminal on earth. To the authorities, Avery was the enemy of all mankind. To the people he was a hero. Rumors swirled about his disappearance. The only certainty is that Henry Avery became a ghost.What happened to the notorious Avery has been pirate historys most baffling cold case for centuries. Now, in a remote archive, a coded letter written by 'Avery the Pirate' himself, years after he disappeared, reveals a stunning truth. He was a pirate that came in from the cold . . .In The Pirate King, Sean Kingsley and Rex Cowan brilliantly tie Avery to the shadowy lives of two other icons of the early 18th century, including Daniel Defoe, the worldfamous novelist andas few people knowa deepcover spy with more than a hundred pseudonyms, and Archbishop Thomas Tenison, a Protestant with a hatred of Catholic France.Sean Kingsley and Rex Cowan's The Pirate King brilliantly reveals the untold epic story of Henry Avery in all it's colorful gloryhis exploits, his survival, his secret double life, and how he inspired the golden age of piracy.
