Under the Black Ensign - Stories from the Golden Age by L. Ron Hubbard, read by Marisol Nichols (Narrator). - Audio CD - Unabridged 2 hours.

Pirates, Blackguards, Maidens in disguise, Oh My

Tom Bristol hits a new low when he drops a marlinespike and it just misses the"Lord High Governor" He is sentenced to 100 lashes on the spot and is only spared death by the ship he's on being taken by a pirate ship. They ask him to join them and since he was press-ganged into the British navy he gladly joins the pirates. He meets midshipmen Jim, who turns out to be Lady Jane Campbell.

I received Under the Black Ensign as a free audiobook from the publisher. I have enjoyed listening to this and several other stories from the Golden Age previously.
