Second On the Right
Elizabeth Los
Synopsis
Spawned from an ancient promise, treachery and intrigue follow the protagonists through our
world and one lost to the waves. Bound by an invisible bond, they are thrust into a fantastical world of pirates and demons.
James Benedict is a just man haunted by evil. Pushed to the edge, everything stripped from him,
a new man arises . . . a man whose name strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear it: "Captain
Hook".
Eileen Davis was a timid woman. Through a fateful cruise she finds herself in the company of
the Captain of the Mistral Thief. With his guidance, and the meddling of the local barista, she
eventually finds her inner strength.
Will the two of them unite through time to fulfill the promise of their ancestors or will tempers
ignite leading all to failure?

Guest Post
Of the
tall ships mentioned in Second on the Right, the Mistral Thief and the Jolly
Roger are the two that have top billing.
Jolly
Roger
Though smaller than a
galleon, the brig is no less of a ship. The Jolly Roger, sails with two
square-rigged masts (fore and main). Captain Benedict notes the brig hold more
capability for speed and maneuverability. Outgunned compared with the Mistral
Thief, the Jolly Roger holds roughly fifteen cannons and two swivel guns. The
number of sails on the Jolly Roger is incredible. Besides the two main masts
(fore and main), there are also job sails, a square mainsail, topsail,
topgallant and royals. Due to the number of sails, as well as cannons, the Jolly
Roger requires a large crew (often close to a hundred men). Captain
Hook’s quarters are located at the aft
of the ship, beneath the helm.
Mistral
Thief
Captain
Benedict’s ship is what is typically
depicted of pirate vessels, a galleon ship. With a dark hull and sails, the ship
is equipped with over thirty cannons (a row on deck and a row below deck). The
Mistral Thief holds three masts (fore, mizzen and main). The large sails adds
for more power and speed, though the size of the hull makes her more cumbersome
to maneuver. Captain Benedict’s quarters are located at the aft
of the ship, beneath the helm.

The history of the Jolly
Roger, prior to the take over, is unclear. It is possible the Jolly Roger was
simply a merchant vessel; however, considering how well she’s equipped, some believe she had
been property of the Royal Navy.About The Author
