Savages

Meet Hurricane Williams - a seafaring adventurer with a mysterious past and an uncertain future. A white man who shuns his own people in favor of Tongan and Samoan natives, he's the skipper of a speedy schooner known as the terror of the South Seas. Tanned and bearded, with steely gray eyes and a well-muscled frame, he is naturally taciturn but always has the aspect of a leopard about to spring. He's been accused of piracy, smuggling, blackbirding, and whisky-running, but nobody really knows exactly who or what Hurricane Williams is. Not even young Gilbert Lang, who befriends this enigmatic figure in the Solomon Islands while on a quest for vengeance against the deep-dyed villains responsible for his brother's death. The first serious novel written by journalist and fictioneer Gordon Young, this is pulpy adventures at its most vivid and violent!
