Swashbuckling at its best!
About ten years ago I discovered the amazing fact of Christian pirate stories through the books of Linda Chaikin. I honestly thought that after I had read all of her books that my days of sailing the Spanish Main were over.... and then I discovered MaryLu Tyndall's Legacy Of The King's Pirates series and once again I was walking the decks and smelling the salt breeze.
I have enjoyed each of the MaryLu Tyndall books I have read, and The Ransom was no exception. There are great characters, an intriguing time in history and location, a beautiful damsel in distress, a handsome pirate, treasure, betrayal, danger, and romance. Gosh, what more could I need?!
The main characters each struggle with much the same things. Expectations from family, betrayal, and what faith is really about. MaryLu Tyndall combines a no-holds-barred approach to spiritual truths with her own excellent writing skills that I find completely refreshing in today's Christian fiction market.
One of my favorite parts of The Ransom is the earthquake that that makes a rather, shall we say, noticeable appearance. The earthquake really did strike Port Royal in 1692 and divers are continually discovering new things about the city before. I am one of the nutty people that enjoys reading about earthquakes and hurricanes so when coupled with a great story it sucked me in like tsunami.
Do not miss any of the books in this series but especially do not miss out on The Ransom! You can read this one before the others, it is something of a standalone and has only a few small spoilers.
