The Golden King

by Ryan Berridge

Sam’s life as captain is not going well.

During his tenure he has fought and survived two mutinies, but at what cost?

Lacking in gold Sam turns to his Father’s chest and the mysterious spear coins he holds in his possession. Sold an extravagant story by his fellow crewmen he must sail to a faraway island and court favour with the Golden King who rules.

He needs the King’s approval and he needs gold, as there is only one thing ever on his mind; Junior and the crew of the Rattler, whom he seeks revenge above all else.

Sam must learn who to trust, and fast, if he is to survive. The sea is a cruel mistress and mistakes are often fatal but he must face these challenges head on. He must get his revenge!

The Golden King is the final book in the Rattler trilogy.

Lots of typos. Good build up to the big battle, but when you finally got there, the story deflated quickly "and they lived happily ever after"
