As I believe the OP asked for free books, I suggest the Rafael Sabatini Captain Blood books. Don't be fooled by the title. The books are a fantastic picture of piracy as told by a doctor (who, yes, is named Blood) who is wrongly accused of a crime and sent to a sugar plantation as a slave. You won't find the typical swashbuckling, parrot-on-the-shoulder drivel here. Blood is intelligent and is a great precursor if you want to read the not free Aubrey-Martin books at any point.
I read the book in a matter of days and was much the better for it. I am not sure if MR has them, but i am positive that Feedbooks has them.
