Captain Blood!

I saw that movie, read the Sabatini novel, answered a trivia question on it once while out with my brother's family,
then got a chuckle from the table with the aside that before he became Captain Blood, he was...

Doctor Blood!

If you realize you can have two melodramatic names, go for them both!

I have read "Space Viking", "Merchanter's Luck", and "Marque and Reprisal".

I would add "Citizen Of The Galaxy" by Robert Heinlein
https://www.amazon.com/Citizen-Galaxy-Robert-Heinlein/dp/1416505520

and "In Fury Born" by David Weber
https://www.amazon.com/Fury-Born-David-Weber/dp/1416520546/

It's been a long while, but I'm pretty sure space pirates are one
of Boskone's prominent tools in the Lensman series.

Space pirates/piracy feature off-and-on in Drake's RCN series
and in Reynolds' Revelation Space series. And in Glynn Stewart's
Starship's Mage series, too

I think some of Miles Vorkosigan's Denadarii Mercenary Fleet
adventures involve space pirates/piracy.

And...Jack Vance, I think? Demon Princes? Oh, Vandals of the Void (too).

Oh...and at least one of Martha Wells' Murderbot stories.

And a small group of brain cells (known troublemakers) are
trying to suggest that maybe there are some space pirates in
some of Anderson's van Rijn stories, and maybe some Liaden
stories, too.

Space pirates are joint protagonists in Donaldson's
"The Gap" story spread over five or so books.
Real socially primitive pirates, not movie star swashbucklers.

Murray Leinster's _The Pirates of Zan_ (obviously), Heinlein's
_Farmer In The Sky_ (off screen), Locke's "Telepathic Space Pirates" setting,
Sutherland's "Alexis Carew" setting, Campbell's "Piracy Preferred",
Nelson Bond's "Lancelot Biggs" setting, Henwick's "The Dark Takes Fools"
setting, & Hawke's "Wings Of The Seraph" settting.

At least in _Galactic Patrol_. After Boskonia is (more or less)
kicked out of the First Galaxy, they rely more on drugs (primarily
thionite) and subversion.

Point for the troublemakers! In "Hiding Place", van Rijn is being
pursued by Adderkops, who are some pirates, once of Freya.

Cool - thanks. I sometimes think I should re-read those, and
then I worry that they wouldn't hold up very well.

Woohoo!! Now I wonder what devious plan they're cooking up.
