- Résumé : "Plotting in Pirate Seas" by Francis Rolt-Wheeler is a gripping tale set in the tumultuous backdrop of early 20th-century Haiti, a land rife with political intrigue and the lingering shadows of its colonial past. The story follows young Stuart Garfield, who finds himself embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy against the United States. His father, a former U.S. Consular Service officer, has mysteriously disappeared while investigating a plot involving Manuel Polliovo, a Cuban conspirator, and General Cesar Leborge, a Haitian military figure. Determined to uncover the truth and rescue his father, Stuart disguises himself as a Haitian boy, staining his skin to blend in with the local populace. His journey takes him from the bustling streets of Cap Haitien to the foreboding Citadel of the Black Emperor, a symbol of Haiti's complex history. As Stuart navigates the treacherous landscape, he encounters the ever-present threat of voodoo rituals, the oppressive sound of the tom-tom drums, and the stark realities of a nation under the shadow of American intervention. The narrative delves into the socio-political dynamics of Haiti, highlighting the tension between the occupying U.S. forces and the native population, as well as the internal power struggles among the Haitian elite. Stuart's adventure is not just a quest to save his father but also a journey of self-discovery and a test of his unwavering patriotism. Rolt-Wheeler's vivid descriptions and historical insights provide a rich tapestry of the Caribbean's cultural and political landscape, making "Plotting in Pirate Seas" a compelling read for those interested in historical fiction and adventure. The novel explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the clash of civilizations, all set against the backdrop of a nation striving for self-determination amidst external and internal pressures.
