Martin Conisby Vengeance Jeffery Farnol 9781533458889 Books
Humph.Martin was a fool in the first book, and his intellect does not improve in this narrative. An added disappointment is the Lady Joan wasn't in it as much. Instead we are treated to Joanna, a fierce, violent, evil wench. I wished a coconut would fall and knock her senseless. I have no liking for characters who use trickery and aggravation to get their way.
I don't really feel that I can "review" this, so I'll just go over my likes and dislikes.
Likes:
Adam Penfeather was one step ahead, he wasn't going to let a prideful fool (aka Martin), spoil his life and everyone else's. Lady Joan was just as sweet and forgiving, almost too much. All the characters had a bit of good and bad, and were treated accordingly. I found the female pirate intriguing, if rather vile.
Dislikes:
Martin did not learn from his past, and that made me terribly mad. I liked him and wanted him to move forward, not keep retracing his steps. I think he deserved being stuck on a desert island with Joanna. He needed someone to knock some sense into him. I only wish she hadn't been so irritating in the process because that just made me feel bad for Martin. I pity Lady Joan for loving a man that didn't trust her one jot. Would I reread this? No. I would reread Black Bartlemy's Treasure, but this book was too tiresome.
PG this book had more violence in the forms of shooting, knifing, torture and hangings. We were not subjected to descriptions of it all though, thank goodness. Some swearing, not much or strong. The song that was in the first is still in this; I will have it memorized for life, I fear.
"Two on a knife did end their life
And three the bullet took O,
But three times three died plaguily
A wriggling on a hook O.
A hook both strong and bright and long,
They died by gash o' hook O."
Note: I recommend that you read this book soon after the first since the first ends on a cliffhanger and this one goes forward three years showing us what happened in between. This is not a standalone.

Martin Conisby Vengeance Jeffery Farnol 9781533458889 Books Reviews
sequel and "must read."
Really great book but this version was very badly typeset in tiny type.
Both books are fun read. this is the second of 2. Martin is so hell bent on vengeance that he passes on good fortunes and plunges into dire circumstances to pursue his justice. Very entertaining and exciting read.
A worthy sequel to Black Bartlemy Treasure. Many similarities to the other book. Enjoyable reading. Mr Farnol does not disappoint.
Great bedtime reading. Odd and difficult to read large format.
The swashbuckling, scene setting, dialogue and secondary characters are all first rate, to say the least. Unfortunately, the hero and his pious love interest are very tiresome. I still recommend it, but more for Fighting Jo, Adam Penfeather and the vile Tressady than the protagonist and his relentless God-bothering and self-loathing.
If you haven't read Black Bartelmy's Treasure, get it first and read it. It ends without resolution for the two main characters and this is the continuation. More than a sequel, it is the second half. See the reviews of the first book. This is more of the same, great well sculpted characters in profusion, mixed with adventure, death, love, passion, and chivalry in the 1700's with pirates, Spanish inquisition, Central American jungles, Myans, battles, survival, shipwrecks in profusion. The best use of 80 cents around. I love Farnol's writing style, reminds me of RL Stevenson's. Martin Conisby is adrift, farther and farther from his love. This follows his adventures, his quest for vengeance against an ancient family enemy, woeful suffering, the consummation of the vengeance that has eaten at him for 6 years. Flight to safety, survival in the jungle, unexpected friends and loyalty at many turns, as well as unexpected death and threat. But read Black Bartlemy's Treasure first, to really understand what drives Martin and the ghosts of the past that haunt and drive him to near self destruction.
Humph.
