The Pyrates is all swashbucklers that ever were, rolled into one great technicolored pantomime.

In THE PYRATES, the author of the celebrated Flashman novels pays tongue-in-cheek homage to the swashbuckling books and movies that have always stirred his imagination.

In these rollicking pages you’ll find tall ships and desert islands; impossibly gallant adventurers and glamorous heroines; devilishly sinister cads and ghastly dungeons; improbably acrobatic duels and hair’s-breadth escapes; and more plot twists than you can shake a rapier at. A deliriously entertaining combination of old Errol Flynn 1940’s action-adventure and Naked Gun pastiche.

Many references in the book are to people or events unknown to most of you but a few minutes into the boo0k and you will be caught up in Fraser’s wonderful silliness and you won’t care.

Niigel Lambert’s reading is over-the-top as it should be.

Enjoy.
