The Untold Stories of Captain Jack Sparrow

Captain Jack Sparrow, a household name. The familiar tales of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest and Davy Jones, the edge of the earth, the search for the Fountain of Youth are well known by many worldwide. But what if these stories were just the tip of the iceberg? What if Captain Jack had embarked on more vast quests, with more dangerous opposition and larger stakes, with creatures beyond anyone's wildest dreams staring him dead in the eyes, ready to make him dead in the eyes. How would even the wittiest and most slippery such as Jack Sparrow escape the grasp of the intimidating Sea Eagle? Or what would Sparrow do if faced with something unimaginable by humans such as the Elephant Fish? What if the Kraken had more of its kind, and Davy Jones had them too under his grasp? Would the gentle approach of the Sea Camel be the demise of Sparrow? While Captain Jack has faced Davy Jones' Locker before at the hands of one of these beasts, are we missing classic stories of the childhood hero of many?

The answer is yes. These legends and first-hand accounts have been passed around among pirates for years, but have finally made it to the mass media. Adventures that will one day be made into movies can now be read and imagined before they are distorted by Hollywood. If you, like many of all ages, races and genders, have been captured by the heroic and somewhat idiotic actions of Captain Jack Sparrow and want to feel that same feeling once more, all you have to do is turn the page. What you read might not be what you are expecting or imagining right now, but one thing is for sure, it will reignite the love for Captain Jack Sparrow that almost all of us have felt at one time or another in our lifetimes.
