Before long, his loyal crew, much to their dismay, find themselves en route to St. Helena, a bleak speck of an island a thousand miles from anywhere. But the Captains plan for a quiet life rearing bees is interrupted by the arrival of another visitor to the island-the recently deposed Napoleon Bonaparte. Is the islands twenty-eight mile circumference big enough to contain two of historys greatest egos? Has the Pirate Captain finally met his match? And who has the best hat? Once again, Gideon Defoe has given us an exciting, swashbuckling tale of lavish tea parties, planning regulations, and raw political ambition.
