The blue waters of the Bahamas conceal wrecks, danger, treasure-and an adventure unlike anything Bobby Ratcliffe has ever known.
While cruising through the islands aboard a luxurious yacht, young Bobby Ratcliffe has grown thoroughly weary of comfort, convention, and his painfully proper companion. Everything changes when he encounters the Sarah Tyler and its extraordinary crew: Satan Tyler, a daring young sailor with a talent for schemes and survival, and Satan's unconventional sister Jude. Fascinated by their freedom and rough independence, Bobby is drawn away from the sheltered world he knows and into the unpredictable life of the Bahamian seas.
Soon the adventure carries them among reefs, wrecks, hidden valuables, dangerous rivals, mutiny, deception, and desperate struggles in which quick wits can matter as much as courage. Beneath the tropical sun, fortunes can appear and vanish with the tide, while friendship and loyalty are tested by greed and danger. Filled with colourful characters, maritime adventure, humour, romance, and the untamed atmosphere of the Caribbean, H. De Vere Stacpoole's Satan: A Romance of the Bahamas is a spirited tale of freedom and fortune amid the islands and open waters of the Bahamas.
