Cutlasses & Conjuring: Piratical Tales of Larceny & Laughter John Salonia

SET SAIL ON THE SEVEN SEAS OF HILARITY! At last the fabulous exploits of Captain Aleister Gaspard, the not-quite-King of the Buccaneers, can be told! Compiled from the horribly-mispelled journals of his biographer, Adolphus Montague Wintergreen, at tremendous expense (and no end of eyestrain), these tales of the freebooting reaver of the Seven Seas will shiver your timbers (and tickle your funnybone). Gaspard sets sail on a wild odyssey of adventure, complete with treasure, curses, wildly licentious pagan goddesses, bloodthirsty pirate queens, desperate alliances, living treasure maps, fiendish sirens, larcenous abbots, doublecrosses, cannibal giants, and more rats than you can shake a stick at. Watch Gaspard match wits (what he has of them) with his rivals, the vicious but voluptuous Valencia de Karré, and the even-more-vicious (but not in the least appealing) Captain Gilligan Skokes, who both have scores to settle with the Almost Pirate King. It's sword & sorcery, pirate style ? and with a light touch. So set sail with Captain Gaspard, Red Patch Pete, and the rest, for some laughably larcenous adventures.
