Page "Captain Blood (novel)" Paragraph 8

Captain Blood was an enormously popular work, and Sabatini wrote two additional novels featuring Peter Blood: Captain Blood Returns ( 1930 ) ( retitled The Chronicles of Captain Blood in the British publication ) and The Fortunes of Captain Blood ( 1936 ).

Both of these books are episodic tales of Blood's pirate career rather than true sequels.

All the episodes are contained within the timeframe of the original novel, although Sabatini mistakenly dated one story " 1690 " despite the fact that Blood's piratical career had been established as ending in 1689, and two stories in Captain Blood Returns: " The War Indemnity " and " Blood Money " may be viewed as continuations of events that took place in the original novel.
