**An unofficial sequel to the most popular pirate tale ever told--Robert Louis Stevenson's *Treasure Island*.**
Inspired by the opening line of the famous novel in which Jim Hawkins tells of a "treasure not yet lifted" still hidden on an unknown island, Leonard Wibberley (author of *The Mouse That Roared*) penned this tale of what became of literature's most beloved "bad guy"--Long John Silver--and what happened to the remaining treasure.
Wibberley, in his foreword, tells how he came to write *Flint's Island* , "I realized I must myself, however unworthy, attempt to supply the story of what happened to the remaining treasure or die with that question, raised in childhood, unanswered."
A gratifyingly bloody and piratical tale, dominated by one of fiction's great hero-rogues, the endlessly cunning, forever evil Long John Silver.
