WHAT THE CRITICS SAY OF
Sir Henry Morgan––Buccaneer
By CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY
The New York Tribune says––and it is true––that “Mr. Brady is fond of dashing themes and certainly here he has found a subject to suit his most exacting mood. He has taken a rascal for the hero of his picaresque and rattling romance. The author is lavish in incident and handles one thrilling situation after another with due sense of all the dramatic force that is to be got out of it. His description of the last moments of the old pirate is one of the most effective pieces of writing he has put to his credit. Sir Henry Morgan––Buccaneer is an absorbing story.”
“Cyrus Townsend Brady has had the hardihood to set aside the romantic pirate of fictional tradition and paint a genuine historic pirate; lustful, murderous, brutal, relentless. The story has force and dramatic interest.”––The Lamp.
“Mr. Brady has never before been so successful in creating a character who so completely fills the scene. Morgan dominates the book from the first line to the last.”––Philadelphia Item.
“The story is a fascinating one––a concentration of all the pirate stories that ever were written.”––Rochester Herald.
“Mr. Brady has a graphic and realistic power of description. The novel is full measure and running over with thrills.”––Brooklyn Eagle.
“A thrilling pirate story, a lively romance sufficiently sensational yet not lacking in delicacy.”––Boston Transcript.
