It's 1940, and the British are preparing for a Nazi invasion of England. As a resident of Greybeard Island, the smallest island of the British Channel Islands, Nick must help to save his homeland.
The Nazis aren't Nick's only enemies, though. When Nick's sister, Kate, is kidnapped by his arch-rival, Captain Blood, and taken back to Port Royal, Jamaica, in the year 1781, Nick must use his time machine to go back in time to save her.
While in Jamaica, however, Nick discovers Captain Blood's plot to attack a French fleet on its way to Yorktown to prevent the retreat of General Cornwallis. The interruption of this battle could change the outcome of the American Revolution. Can Nick stop these time pirates from changing history and save his sister at the same time?
THE TIME PIRATE is a fast-paced, action-packed time-travel adventure. The story is intense and unique. The mixture of history and science fiction is well-crafted. The characters are well-developed and likable. Readers who like science fiction, historical fiction, and adventure will truly enjoy reading this book.
