About this ebook
In 1819, the bustling colony of Monterey, California, faces an unexpected threat when Hypolite Bouchard, an Argentine corsair, sets his sights on the settlement's bountiful riches. Determined to strike a blow against Spain's New World possessions, Bouchard plans to sack and burn the town, claiming its gold, jewels, and food stores for Argentina.
Young Miguel "Mike" San Lucas Obanion y Boronda and his uncle, Captain Roger Obanion, learn of the impending attack while returning from the Orient aboard the merchant ship "Boston Belle." Racing against time to warn Monterey, their journey takes a perilous turn when they become prisoners of the pirates.
Based on true events, this gripping tale weaves together the lives of real and fictional characters, painting a vivid picture of California during a tumultuous period in history. As Mike and Captain Obanion struggle to break free and lead the resistance against Bouchard's invading forces, readers are transported to a land on the brink of change, where the actions of a few brave individuals can alter the course of history.
