Jacky's Back!

Over my kids' Fall Break we went to Gulf Shores, Alabama and hung out on the beach.  I took the iPad with the coveted- only on a Kindle- not on paper yet- "The Wake of the Lorelei Lee: Being an Account of the Further Adventures of Jacky Faber, On Her Way To Botany Bay".  (Long enough for ya?)  This is the eighth book in the Bloody Jack series by L.A. Meyer.  

The things that were bothering me the most in the book as far as unbelievable-ness goes (I know, that's not a word) were explained in the back of the book by the author as being historically accurate.  Quite cool. 

What is it about Jacky?  Mostly incredibly unbelievable, I still want more of her.  She's spunky, courageous, daring, nutty, sexy, and fun.  Who else could wear a bathing suit, or smuggle a stolen diving bell, or remain a virgin in ships full of sailors and pirates? 
 
In this book we find Jacky a prisoner on a ship bound for Australia.  (Not a nice thing.)  She's put in contact with many of her old acquaintances, some nice some not.  She also meets some new "friends" such as the crazy Chinese pirate queen... (ahem.)  I thought for sure she and Jaimy would tie the knot in this book, but it looks like there are more adventures to come.   Stormy seas ahead, Jacky!
