4.0

This is a very good yarn in the tradition of Treasure Island, though a bit more of a pot-boiler. This was the first novel of a series and the focus is more on the supporting characters rather than Doctor Syn himself. It's of it's time but if you enjoy a good adventure and forgive it a few stylistic flaws it's an enjoyable read and I'm looking forward to reading more in the series
