Marooned on a remote Caribbean island with his loyal crew and a fortune in buried treasure, Silver awaits the return of the man who left him there. In order to defeat Silver and claim the island back as his, Flint will need to raise an army -- no easy feat for the man most wanted by the Royal Navy.

Awards/获奖情况：Praise for FLINT & SILVER by John Drake:

“An epic tale of friendship and treason.”---The Sea

“Drake’s novel is rich in historical detail and riveting in its vivid depictions of sea battles, torture, murder and lurid pirate revelry… this is a rousing swashbuckler loaded with action, greed, treachery and graphic violence.”---Publishers’ Weekly

“Swashbuckling adventure on the high seas doesn’t get much better than this. If you loved Robert Louis Stevenson’s TREASURE ISLAND as a kid—and who didn’t?—then you will absolutely love this not-for-kids prequel. John Drake writes beautifully, and you’ll be torn between savouring the words and quickly flipping the pages. Any favourable comparison to Stevenson or Patrick O’Brian is totally justified.”---Nelson DeMille, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“FLINT AND SILVER is a fascinating prequel, one that manages a thoroughly modern style and approach while remaining scrupulously faithful to the period.” ---Lincoln Child, New York Times bestselling author

“Drake vigorously recounts bloody exploits and savage adventures, updating Stevenson with the addition of sex and violence, not to mention the pirates’ own highly creative profanity. . . No children’s story this, but appealing to adult readers with fond memories of the original.”---Kirkus

“A rattling good yarn with battle scenes and tales of treachery galore.”---Good Reading(Australia)

“一部刻画友情和背叛的恢宏巨作。”——The Sea
"小说情节生动，描绘逼真，将海战、折磨、谋杀刻画得淋漓尽致，势利、贪婪、背叛、暴力在书中一览无遗。——《出版者周刊》
“孩童时代无人不知《金银岛》，成人年代无人不爱《金银岛前传》。书中精彩与回味并存，生动再现Stevenson与O’Brian的独特风格。”——Nelson DeMille
“小说精彩生动，惊心动魄，将现代风格与当代元素完美融合。”——Lincoln Child
“小说逼真地再现了残酷血腥的金银岛冒险历程，在原作的基础上增加了成人元素，少儿不宜，可勾起成人对孩提时代的回忆。”——Kirkus
“战斗场面摄人心魄，背叛情节离奇精彩。”——Good Reading
