Through a series of thrilling twists, Archie finds himself captain of another of Blackbeard's ships, the Jolig Roger. In an attempt to flee danger, his ship becomes lost under stars never before seen.

Determined to save both his crew and the woman he loves, Archie will make decisions that will forever seal his fate.

This is the story of how Captain Hook came to be.  Captain Hook’s real name is Archie Jameson.  He had inherited a business from her father.  He didn’t really like it but bills needed to be paid and he needed to eat.  He was on his way home one day and popped into a pub to avoid the coming storm.  That once choice changed that rest of his life.  The men in the pub drugged him and took him aboard their ship per the captain’s orders just because he could read.  The captain of the ship was none other than Blackbeard on he was the Queen Anne’s Revenge.  Archie wasn’t crazy about climbing the rigging so when the Captain asked if he had any skills he said cooking.  Too bad he can’t cook to save his life.  After a couple days Smee took pity on him and helped him.  While taking dinner to the Captain he started commenting on the charts.  The captain asked if he knew how to read them and when he said yes Blackbeard offered him a new job as navigator.  The crew was never happier.  They overtook another ship while sailing and then stopped to sell the booty that was aboard the ship they took.  When they set sail again he was put aboard the ship they had taken, the Jolly Roger.  Everything after this leads to how Archie Jameson became Captain Hook.

I enjoyed this book a lot.  I like books like this that adds to a story that is already a classic.  This book adds to the story of Peter Pan so much.  It even shows a different take on Peter himself and what kind of creature he is exactly.  It shows a different side of Hook.  He is always thought of as wanting to get Peter and a cold, mean man.  This explains how he got that way.  You also learn about the lost boys.  I don’t want to give too much away.  There are mermaids, lost boys, fairies, and so much more in this book.  This book was very well written.  It also had some twists and turns that made you want to keep reading to find out what happened.  I look forward to reading the next book in this series. 

I was given this book in return for an honest review.
