Red Sails

This novella is compelling from beginning to end; from Captain Vigoreaux's origin story, to the stranded men's discovery of native girl Sampari and her people, to the numerous fights between captives, natives and pirates in various combinations. My only complaint about Red Sails is that it should have been a novel. The story was over too quickly and could have easily held it's own over the course of a three-hundred page book with the addition of some subplots and modifications to the storyline. I really hope Erdelac finds time to revisit Vigoreaux and his crew.
