Summary

John Dawner es un cadete de la Marina Real británica en Port Royal.

Su padre, el famoso almirante James Dawner, ha depositado en él grandes expectativas, pero John es todo lo contrario de lo que se esperaría: rebelde, caótico y salvaje.

Siente que no pertenece ni al servicio naval ni a su familia, y está en lo correcto.

No está interesado en combatir a los piratas que asolan las aguas turquesas del Caribe, lo que es más, se siente misteriosamente atraído hacia su forma de vida. Muy pronto el destino llama a la puerta: el feroz ataque de los bucaneros comandados por el capitán Desmond Black al puerto hace que John se sienta obligado a luchar por su ciudad. Entre cañonazos y espadas que entrechocan, su padre a punto de morir le confiesa su oscuro origen.

Este secreto llevará a John a través de una larga travesía entre piratas, amores y saqueos para encontrase a sí mismo en alta mar. Pero Johnny Blackdawn es también la historia del impredecible Desmond Black y su enemigo Barbanegra; la de la bellísima Margaret Tanner, la liberal Jill Jones y la noble española María Aragón, tres mujeres cuyas existencias encuentran sentido en la piratería; en suma, la de una comunidad revolucionaria llena de personajes fascinantes cuyas acciones pusieron en jaque el comercio marino del Nuevo Mundo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

His father, the famous Admiral James Dawner, has placed great expectations on him, but John is the complete opposite of what one would expect: rebellious, chaotic, and wild. He feels that he doesn't belong in the naval service nor in his family, and he’s right.
 
He’s not interested in fighting the pirates who terrorize the pristine turquoise waters of the Caribbean; in fact, he feels mysteriously drawn to their way of life. Very soon, destiny comes knocking: the fierce attack on the port by buccaneers led by Captain Desmond Black makes John feel compelled to fight for his city. Amid cannon fire and clashing swords, his father, on the brink of death, confesses his dark secret.
 
This revelation leads John on a long journey among pirates, love interests, and thieveries, to find himself on the high seas. But Johnny Blackdawn is also the story of the unpredictable Desmond Black and his enemy Blackbeard; of the beautiful Margaret Tanner, the liberal Jill Jones, and the noble Spaniard María Aragón, three women whose lives find meaning in piracy; in short, the story of a revolutionary community full of fascinating characters whose actions challenged maritime trade in the New World.
