- Used Book in Good Condition
Twenty-five-year-old Jack Sparrow is a clean-cut merchant seamanÂ pursuing a legitimate career as a first mate for the EastÂ India Trading Company. He sometimes thinks back to his boyhood pirating days, but he doesnâ€™t miss Teagueâ€™s scrutiny or the constant threat of the noose.Â Besides, he doesnâ€™t have much choiceÂ—he broke the Code when he freed a friend who had been accused of rogue piracy, and he can no longerÂ show his face in Shipwreck Cove.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â WhenÂ Jackâ€™s ship is attacked by pirates and his captain dies in the altercation, he suddenly finds himself in command. The wily sailorâ€™s skillful negotiations with the pirate captainÂ—who turns out to be a woman from his pastÂ—result in a favorable outcome that puts Jack in line for an official promotion.Â
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â After making port in Africa, Jack is summoned by Cutler Beckett, whoÂ makes him captain of a ship called the Wicked Wench. BeckettÂ gives Jack an assignment. He has heard a legend about a magical islandÂ namedÂ Zerzura whose labyrinthine bowels are said to contain aÂ glorious treasure. Beckett suspects that one of his house slaves, a girl named Ayisha, is fromÂ Zerzura. HeÂ asksÂ Jack to take her along on his voyage and seduce her into divulging the islandâ€™s whereabouts. In payment for his services,Â Beckett promises Jack a share of the treasure.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â But this task isnâ€™t as easy as Jack initially believes. Before she agrees to reveal the location of her home, Ayisha insists that Jack take her to the New World to rescue her brother, who has been sold into slavery in the Bahamas. Their voyage is long and arduous, and as they weather a vicious storm and a surprise attack from an old pirate foe, Jack grows to respect and admire Ayishaâ€™s bravery. He knows that Beckett intends to enslave her people after robbing them of their treasure, and Jackâ€™s moral compass revolts at the idea. It might be possible to deliver Ayisha safely to Zerzura, obtain some of the treasure, and convince Beckett that he never found it . . . but the greedy E. I. T. C. official has eyes everywhere, and if he learns that Jack has foiled his plans, he could take away the thing that Captain Sparrow loves most: his shipÂ—and his freedom.
