Summary:Newfoundland author Wakeham's tenth novel is a tale of adventure about George Langford, a man who chooses to live the life of a pirate on the high seas of the 17th century; "Many legendary and historical tales have been written and told about the swashbuckling pirates that frequented Newfoundland's bays and coves during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but none of them are more exciting or more colorful than those of George Langford, the "Royal Imposter," who in his boyhood days, was a reckless hoodlum roaming the docks of Liverpool and living by what he could pilfer from the larders of ships he found unattended."
