The Last Pirates (original title: Gli ultimi filibustieri ) is an adventure novel written by Italian author Emilio Salgari, published in 1908. It is the final book in Salgari's popular The Black Corsair series.[1]
The Last Pirates follows Countess Ines di Ventimiglia, the daughter of the Red Corsair, as she goes back to Panama to claim her inheritance as granddaughter of the Cacique of Darien. The Marquis de Montelimar, however, eager to marry her and put his hands on the inheritance decides to kidnap her. It's up to Mendoza, Buttafuoco and don Barrejo to free her, which they do with the help of another pirate, Raveneau de Lussan. Once they finish the rescue, they depart with a ship full of gold and retire to live in peace.
