Kapteeni Bloodin vaiheet : Seikkailuromaani

A learned surgeon named Peter Blood lives a quiet life in the modest town of Bridgewater, tending to his garden and smoking his pipe while the world outside swirls with unrest. The streets are filled with a restless crowd—farmers, craftsmen, and would‑be soldiers—who have gathered under a tattered banner, spurred on by a fiery preacher’s call to rise against the crown. Blood watches their fervor with a mixture of disdain and curiosity, aware that the fragile peace of his daily routine is about to be shattered.

When the mob’s chaotic march turns violent, Blood’s expertise and steady hand attract the attention of both rebels and authorities. Suddenly thrust into a world of secret messages, hidden motives, and dangerous alliances, he must decide whether to stay a passive observer or become an unexpected participant in a struggle that could carry him far beyond the English countryside. The adventure begins as he steps onto a path where medicine, honor, and the lure of the open sea intertwine.
