The Horrible History Of Captain Black Hand

Was his encounter with the great white shark and escape by some design or by sheer luck? On such a question hangs the Horrible History of the Captain Black Hand. It is a horrible story though. Young Murtius was a child of his times. At a time Old Spain and Portugal and England were plundering the Americas and called it the Great Battle of Wits he became a pirate. Awed by so much wealth he exclaimed, "I have needs therefore I exist." Philosopher Descartes could not have summed it more succinctly. Only after he said 'yea' to free enterprise did he realize the Big Powers were dead earnest to string him up from the nearest yardarm. He was a pirate with a price on his head!There was no going back. He took the name Captain Black Hand with a ship and pirates ready to undertake any mission to stay afloat. Eleven adventures are described with humor and verve of a pirate whose single misstep would have put an end to his game. Having made two enemies at the beginning of his career these adventures keep the reader engaged with their cat and mouse game into which a love-interest is also introduced to keep the suspense taut: does his phenomenal luck work same magic with love of his life? The pirate makes appearance in two other books. Q-bitz is a pen name and refers to the author's interest in science. In the world of letters his forte is laws of levity, not related by any chance to the laws of Newton on gravity.
