Captain Blood es una novela de ficción histórica escrita por Rafael Sabatini y publicada originalmente en 1922.

Peter Blood is a doctor and former Irish soldier who one day, during a revolt of rebels against King James II, comes to the aid of a wounded rebel and is captured, imprisoned as a rebel and convicted of treason. The fact of doing his duty as a doctor leads him unjustly to slavery in the Caribbean.

His medical skills are very useful in his captivity and, together with his great intelligence, earn him the appreciation of all his superiors. With his cunning, he will begin to prepare his escape. Taking advantage of a moment of confusion during a pirate raid on the island where he is, Peter Blood and a group of slaves manage to slip away and escape.

The group sets sail with a pirate ship that they manage to boldly steal and become pirates in search of adventure. Peter Blood then commands the ship to become Captain Blood. However, he leaves behind his beloved (the governor's daughter), as it is complicated that she can love a pirate and thief...

"Peter Blood, bachelor of medicine and several other things besides, smoked a pipe and tended the geraniums boxed on the sill of his window above Water Lane in the town of Bridgewater."
