Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Loot of the Flying Dragon' is a high-stakes maritime adventure set during the golden age of sail. This gripping narrative follows Barnaby Vane, a young Boston clerk who finds himself swept into a world of intrigue and danger when he is kidnapped and thrust onto a merchant ship bound for the high seas. As the plot unfolds, Barnaby encounters ruthless figures and the mysterious vessel known as the Flying Dragon, leading to a desperate quest for survival and hidden treasure.Written by Kenneth Payson Kempton, the story expertly captures the salt-sprayed atmosphere of 18th-century seafaring life.
