Birds of Prey - first US edition

by Wilbur Smith

The year is 1667 and Sir Frances Courteney and his son Hal are on patrol in their fighting caravel off the Agulhas Cape of South Africa, lying in wait for one of the treasure-laden galleons of the Dutch East India Company returning from the Orient. An excellent nautical yarn.

Book has cream-colored boards with a maroon quarter spine, printed in gold. End papers are nicely illustrated with a map of the region where the book takes place. Book is in very good condition.

Jacket has always been protected; price intact at $25.95.
