Review of Under the Jolly Roger: Being an Account of the Further Nautical Adventures of Jacky Faber
With Boston burning behind her, Jacky Faber is on the run again. In this third installment of the adventures of “Bloody Jack,” an orphan girl from the streets of London returns to her native land in search of her true love, James “Jaimy” Fletcher. But Jacky’s free and easy spirit can never stay away from trouble, and she finds herself on board a royal naval ship once again, but it is a ship that is filled with a mutinous crew and an incompetent captain. Jaimy has to use every bit of her wits to keep out of the captain’s lecherous hands, and in good standing with her mates. In a surprising turn of events, resourceful Jacky finds herself in charge of the crew and is surprisingly good at it. But how long will it last?
L.A. Meyer thrills us again with Jacky’s misadventures. The series, or Jacky, do not show any signs of slowing down as this exciting tale barrels along with more ship adventures, romance, piracy, and the return of some familiar faces. Jacky is a wonderful character, full of high spirits, brains, and heart. This novel and its two prequels are highly recommended for fans of historical fiction and pirates.
