10 Novels that Feature Pirates

The listed ten novels take you on voyages around the world with some dashing and notorious pirate captains and characters. Out of the ten, the only title that I know of that has been adapted into a miniatures game is Treasure Island.

Some of the stories in Pyle's Book of Pirates would make great game scenarios. Ghost Pirates, as well as other of William Hope Hodgson’s work would make great game plots. In addition, I believe Captain Blood and the Pirate would make great adaptations for slash-buckling game play.

  1. Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
  2. The Missing Merchantmen, Harry Collingwood
  3. Captain Blood, Rafael Sabatini
  4. The Sea-Hawk, Rafael Sabatini
  5. The Coral Island, R.M. Ballantyne
  6. Ghost Pirates, William Hope Hodgson
  7. Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates
  8. The Pirate, Frederick Marryat
  9. The Pirate Island, Harry Collingwood
  10. The Red Rover, James Fenimore Cooper
