Synopsis

Jacky Faber - rich from her exploits diving for Spanish gold - has purchased the Lorelei Lee to carry passengers across the Atlantic. Believing she has been absolved of past sins against the Crown, Jacky docks in London to take on her crew, but is instead arrested and sentenced to life in the newly formed penal colony in Australia. To add insult to injury, the Lorelei Lee is confiscated to carry Jacky and more than 200 female convicts to populate New South Wales. Not one to give in to self pity, Jacky rallies her sisters to "better" their position - resulting in wild escapades, brushes with danger, and much hilarity. Will Jacky find herself a founding mother of New South Wales, Australia? Not if she has anything to do about it! L. A. Meyer received a master of fine arts from Boston University, and is currently the curator and exhibitor at the Clair de Loon Gallery in Bar Harbor, Maine. He lives in Corea, Maine. Katherine Kellgren has recorded over 60 audio-books including Bloody Jack, which won an Audie Award, a Publishers Weekly Listen Up Award, and ForeWord magazine's Audio-book of the Year.

Goodreads review by Karen on June 11, 2010

I've only been disappointed by one Jacky Faber book (In the Belly of the Bloodhound, if you're curious). As that statement would imply, I was certainly NOT disappointed by the Wake of the Lorelei Lee. What it does not tell you, though, is that I think this may be my favorite of all the tales of the......more

Readers will delight in L.A. Meyer’s latest installment in the popular Bloody Jack series. Loyal fans have watched protagonist Mary “Jacky” Faber grow from a very peculiar ship’s “boy” to a fine lady, pirate, and adventurer- and the swashbuckling fun isn’t over yet! Though The Wake of the Lorelei L......more

This one was a little slower for me, though I can never truly be disappointed by a Bloody Jack adventure. It explored a new area of the world which was interesting! Excited for what the next book will bring.......more
