- Summary
- "Bruised from his crushing disappointment at the Pirate of the Year Awards, the Pirate Captain decides it may finally be time for a career change. It is not long before his loyal crew, much to their dismay, find themselves en route to St Helena: a bleak speck of an island a thousand miles from anywhere and worryingly lacking in winsome tropical ladies." "But the Captain's plan for a quiet life rearing bees is interrupted by the arrival of another visitor to St Helena - the recently deposed Napoleon Bonaparte. Is the island's twenty-eight mile circumference big enough to contain two of history's greatest egos? Has the Pirate Captain finally met his match? And which of them has the best hat?" "The Pirates! In an Adventure With Napoleon is a tale of lavish tea parties, planning regulations, naked political ambition and one heartbroken giant squid."--Jacket.
