Zorro: Skull and Crossbones by Frank Lauria

Alejandro de la Vega is the adopted son of Don Diego de la Vega, the original Zorro. In addition to inheriting the late landowner’s ranch, Alejandro has also taken his adopted father’s mantle. In Zorro: Skull and Crossbones, the pirate Captain Elijah Bone, also known as El Fuego for his bright red hair, has plotted with several greedy Californian landowners to murder General Santa Anna and make the Californian coast a haven for pirates and thieves.
As Zorro, Alejandro fights for the freedom of the people of California. With the help of Diego’s daughter Elena, his sidekick Mateo, and an American secret agent going by the name of Fernando Goya, Zorro is able to rescue Santa Anna to keep order in California, and to defeat the pirate El Fuego. This story is set in a California of the past that is very different from the state it is today, and it is full of action and excitement!
