Piratica II: Return to Parot Island

Piratica II, obviously the second book in the Piratica series by Tanith Lee, has Art and crew back at sea.

Captain Art Piratica and crew have been living in Free England since the end of the first book. All but Felix is anxious to get back to sea. As England is about to go to war with France over France's oppressive monarchy, all pirates and sailors are needed to help the war effort. Art and crew, back on the Unwelcome Stranger are at sea with a mission to harass the French navy whenever possible.

Of course, the real goal is to get back to the island where they found the treasure maps. But there is danger at sea - not only from Goldie Girl - but from Mary Hell, the captain of a black ship that catches pirates in its web-like nets and sends them to the bottom of the ocean.

Will Captain Piractica and crew be safe from Mary Hell because they attack to steal but not to harm?
