When I was a young boy, I loved watching swashbuckling films featuring that swashbuckler of all times, Errol Flynn. I loved being able to escape for a few hours watching Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk, or the Master of Ballantree. A few pages into Randy Mixter's lastest literary achievement, Scarlet and Gold, I was escaping again with one of my favorite authors.There's much that could be said about Mixter's storytelling prowess, especially his ability to engage the reader on many levels. But what I have always enjoyed about Mixter is his ability to tell a good story--and tell a story he does in Scarlet and Gold! You don't have to be an Errol Flynn fan or a Johnny Depp one for all that matters, to appreciate the sea adventure Mixter tells. However, if you like your stories packed with adventure, you are most definitely going to love this story.I've read most of Mixter's books and I have to confess that this one is one of his best, hands down. He's in top form with this style of writing and I can't wait for the next Rachel Cain Adventure!Jeffrey MillerI'll Be Home For Christmas
