After Jean Laffite helped Andrew Jackson to win the Battle of New Orleans, he hoped to have the ships that were taken from him by Daniel Patterson restored. However, the courts ruled otherwise and a direct appeal to President Madison never received a response. Because of this, Laffite decided to establish a new base on Galveston Island, outside the territories of the United States and to pursue his war against Spain. In this sequel to Theodosia and the Pirates: The Battle Against Britain, Theodosia Burr and Jean Laffite face hurricanes, American politicians, rapacious pirates, and the representatives of Spain while raising a family in a frontier town. When did privateering fall into disrepute? What became of the Republic of Cartagena? Did Jean Laffite die while serving in the Colombian Navy in 1823 or did he fake his death and move to St. Louis? How can one remain loyal to the ideals of the American constitution while a hunted fugitive branded as a pirate? Can love of country triumph in the face of political corruption? Read Theodosia and the Pirates: The War Against Spain to find out.
