The Pirates! in an Adventure with Napoleon by Gideon Defoe
Blurb for the back cover:
“Damn Entertaining”
Once in a great while there comes a book so epic, so compelling, so nautically-themed, that is rises above past preconceptions of what a novel is redefines what it means to read a book.
Naturally, I am not talking about The Pirates! In an Adventure with Napoleon
Whenever that book mention above comes along let me know. ‘kay thanks.
As I was saying, TPIAAWN is not the best piece of literature out there. However, it is a damn entertaining one. The fourth book in Defoe’s The Pirates! series sees the Pirate Captain growing tired of his pirating ways and after losing the Pirate of the Year contest, decides to give up his life at sea and devote his life to bee keeping. The Pirate Captain and his crew then retreat to St. Helena and quickly become to most popular residents on the island until Napoleon shows, thus sparking an epic battle. An epic battle of egos that is. The Pirate Captain and Napoleon constantly try and one-up the other and this is were the book starts to fail.
There is very little seafaring, swashbuckling or jokes about ham. For the adventure doesn’t leave the island and fails to create an adventure-esque feeling. Fans of the Pirates! series will most likely enjoy this book because the humor is still there. Surprisingly no jokes about Napoleon being short. Weird. If you have never read one of Defoe’s classic novels, may I recommend you go read The Pirates!: An Adventure with Scientists
Random Thought: I am strongly in favor of the next Pirates! book being called The Pirates! in an Adventure with Jane Austen. Maybe Austen could somehow be related to Jennifer. I’m just say, Defoe if you are reading, go ahead and steal that idea. Think about. With Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
