Book description
>
The Pirate Captain is in trouble. Eager to appease his crew with a boat
that has a functioning mast, fewer holes and cannons that actually fire,
he splashes out on the fancy new Lovely Emma, spending six thousand
doubloons he doesn't have. Finding themselves in debt to the beautiful
but deadly Cutlass Liz - or the butcher of Barbados, as she's otherwise
known - the pirates need to raise some money fast.
In a desperate race against time our heroes embark on an adventure that
will take them from the shores of Nantucket to the bright lights of Las
Vegas, to the ends of the earth in search of a mythical white whale, and
even, perhaps, into the dark depths of madness. But hopefully they'll be
home in time for tea.

It's come to my attention that the old girl's a little bit past her
best. And I can hardly maintain my reputation as a terror of the high
seas with bits falling off the boat all the time, can I?<
'Hilarious. Destined to become a classic of pirate comic fiction' Eric
Idle 'Silly, surreal and absolutely and utterly hilarious ... possibly
the funniest book I've ever read. Guaranteed to put a smile on your
face' Image 'Funny and entertaining' Independent >
