Comments on Pirate queen of the China seas
Ernest Borgnine as a Cantonese! It doesn't get better than that!
ernest borgnine! lol
Some great lines in this one: "The double life of a Lady Buccaneer"
Does anyone have any idea of what the plot might be?
If you enjoyed China Corsair, you will like my latest novel "Pirate Queen: The Curse" about real life lady pirate Lai Choi San who mysteriously vanished in 1939 without a trace. The book picks up the story after she supposedly reappears over ten years later and answers the question about what might have happened to the feared pirate queen. For more details on this suspense/thriller, visit my website piratequeenthecurse.com.
