I know many of the authors and they are all very talented at their craft. Rayne Hall in all her wisdom has put together a diverse group of wonderful swashbuckling tales, her own included, that I truly enjoyed.These ten stories have something for everyone.  If you prefer a more traditional pirate yarn with the exception that a woman is running the show and a dash of romance, then you'll like Broadsided by JK Kiegan. Some are sprinkled with the paranormal and like Liv Rancourt's  Un Homme de Couleur Libre and Rayne Hall's Scylla and the Pepper Pirate where the opponent is not the usual enemy.Nine of the ten, take place on the water, but a very cool, unique story by Kris Radcliff, Diamonds and Bones, takes us to the final frontier of outer space.  As always, Jonathan Broughton brings his humor to the pirate world and Douglas Kolacki and his vivid imagination takes us on an unusual adventure.While I admit to a shout out to the authors I know, that doesn't take away from the other authors and their stories, which were all riveting and compelling.  I look forward to reading more from them in the future.I had a lot of fun with this book and you will too.
