The twilight of the buccaneers is richly re-imagined for adult, contemporary tastes in PORT ROYAL. The year is 1681, and Charles, King of England has a scheme to make his fortune from Jamaica, flooding it with slaves to fuel a sugar boom. But his outrageous Royal Governor, the former buccaneer commander Henry Morgan, has planned a ruthless coup to seize the Island for himself behind a force of privateers. To set the stage for his ambitions, Sir Henry thrusts the celebrated Captain Michael Scot into a lucrative but daunting expedition deep into the jungles of the Darien - exposing him as much to danger from his own resentful allies (English, French and Indians) as from their common Spanish enemy.Morgan also pulls his shrewd Chief Justice into service in a war against a radical, ambitious politician bent on democratic government. But Judge Dawkins has his own agendas, and his own entanglements with Island woman - including both a vain plantation heiress and her haughty and exotic slave.
