One stranded galleon. A fortune in gold. A plan that should never work.

When legendary buccaneer Ned Yorke learns that a Spanish treasure galleon has run aground on the island of St Martin, he sees an opportunity beyond imagining.

The great ship is laden with silver, gold and priceless gems destined for Spain - but she lies stranded beneath the guns of hundreds of desperate Spanish defenders. The French claim the wreck as their own. The English want the treasure. And every passing day brings the risk that Spanish reinforcements will arrive to reclaim the richest prize ever to fall within reach of the Brethren of the Coast.

As rival nations close in and time runs out, only one question remains:

Can a handful of buccaneers steal a fortune from beneath the noses of an empire?

Packed with swashbuckling adventure, authentic seventeenth-century naval action, memorable characters and ingenious strategy, Galleon is a thrilling historical adventure from master storyteller Dudley Pope.
