Excellent Historical Fiction

I found this book by accident, although I had read other Mason novels. It was a delight, painting a compelling portrait of both the man and the times in which he lived. The detail was well-researched and thorough. In my opinion this is a much superior portrayal than Michener's in "Caribbean," in which Morgan is just passed off as the bad pirate that sacked Panama. I have learned that John Steinbeck's first novel, "Cup of Gold," was also about Morgan and hope to read that as well.
