Mark of the Golden Dragon
L. A Meyer
Jacky Faber is stranded again! After a terrible storm at sea Jacky is blown overboard with her young Indian servant Ravi. They wake up on a strange beach and after taking out a tyrant that is running a small fishing village. They steal his boat and sail towards a place called Rangoon and Jacky must go under cover so she does not get into trouble. But they are soon found out and are taken to a Chinaman named Chopstick Charlie, Jacky makes friends with him and his daughter and helps to rescue her after she is taken captive. Together with her friends on the Nancy B. Alsop, Jacky's old ship Jacky sails back to England to try and rescue Jaimy who has become lost in his grief over Jacky's assumed death.
The second to last book. It's an adventure all of its own, even if you have not really read the rest of the series you will probably enjoy this book as it introduces new characters. I loved this book but the ending is kind of sad. My favorite part was when Jacky dressed up as an Indian girl and pretended to be a prostitute in order to kidnap Flashby to give him to Jaimy. I would recommend this book to anyone who has been reading the series. A great book I can not wait to read the last book.

Adventure
The Wake of the Lorelei Lee
L.A. Meyer
Is this the end of Jacky Faber? Have her daring escapades finally come to an end? After returning from her adventure diving for Spanish gold, she quickly bought herself a ship with some of the money that she came by during her diving (hey King George got most of it). But it seems as though someone is onto her; her old enemies Bliffil and Flashby have locked her up in New Gate prison and sentenced her to be delivered to the new colony in Australia. As if that is not enough they make her a prisoner on her own ship! But Jacky soon finds her way into the Captain's heart and is given some privileges. But what happens when the Captain dies and the randy First Mate sets his eyes on Jacky and what he has planned for her is definitely unpleasant.
This book was one of my favorites in the series. I love it because there is a lot of victorious moments and some glorious reunions. My favorite part was when the other prison ship containing the boys catches up with Jacky's ship and Ian comes aboard and kills the First Mate because he killed his baby. I also love the part when Jacky becomes the pet of a fearsome female pirate. I would recommend this book to anyone that has been reading this series and to adults and teens who like adventures on the high seas.

Adventure
Rapture of the Deep
L.A Meyer
Today is the day! Jacky Mary Faber is to be joined in holy matrimony to her beloved James Emerson Fletcher. But as she drives towards her soon to be husband she is captured again by the British Intelligence. This time they are sending her to Spain to dive for sunken treasure, and ti help her out the newly invented diving bell that may do her more harm then good. Though even though this is supposed to be a secret mission Jacky may end up having to leak a little information if she wants to stay safe in Spanish waters.
I still love this series, this book was definitely very well written. It has pirate encounters, adventures in the briny deep and even a little bit of romance (but not too much). My favorite part was when Jacky went down in the bell for the first time, the description of the water and the fish was so realistic. I think that this book would be good for people that love pirate stories and who have been reading the series because it is starting to tie into the other books. It is a great book that makes you want to run out and grab the next one.
