About The Book
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 Errol Flynn action-adventure and Naked Gun pastiche, in a new package geared to the legions of Flashman fanatics.

Raves and Reviews
"The most wonderfully idiotic love song to swashbucklers ever set to Korngold trumpets. Fraser again proves himself a master." —New York Times
"An unfathomable delight." —New Yorker
“Fabulous . . . You'll want to stay up all night reading this one.” —Washington Post
“It's all there, right down to a Dead Man's Chest, cleavages that are everything they should be and characters in sea-boots who say nothing but 'Arr!' and 'Me hearty!' in a plot that is wonderfully absurd.” —Financial Times
“Fraser can easily juggle Conan Doyle and Holmes, Fleming and Bond, Wodehouse and Wooster, and Chandler and Marlowe.” —Vanity Fair
