"Mutiny on the Bounty meets Pirates of the Caribbean with an Oliver Twist” — Hollywood Reporter
Raise the Jolly Roger!
A new maniacal fiend has emerged to cast the entire Caribbean into utmost panic and utter dread. This vile villain is Sig the Merciless, the Viking Pirate. Far more indestructible than mortal, this cannibalistic rogue has spread his notorious depredations far and wide. Given no choice other than a face-to-face confrontation with this vicious barbaric brute, only one brave and intrepid soul has the tenacity and mettle to clash with this demented psychopath — the gallant and heroic Captain William Bilge.
Welcome to the Golden Age of Piracy! This exceedingly brief but profoundly memorable timespan in maritime history spawned copious well-known reprobates such as Blackbeard, Calico Jack and Black Bart to name but a few.
These swashbuckling plunderers and their pirate ships have been portrayed in both literature and films such as Pirates of the Caribbean, as noble and gallant adventurers and paladins. This honorable and virtuous representation could not be further from the truth.
Pirates were notorious criminals and despicable cowards preying on the weak and helpless as they perpetuated countless acts of savagery and barbarity.
Bilge Rat, Pirate Adventurer is an intriguing and action-packed series featuring a realistic chronicle of real-life pirates’ adventures, lifestyles and behavior.
Captain Bilge now faces yet another set of life-threatening challenges. Our hero must eradicate this indomitable flesh-eating fiend, Sig the Merciless. To accomplish this formidable and perilous task, he will need to rely on his loyal crew, his trusty pirate ship, and his oft-proven cunning along with every trick from his well-honed arsenal in order to claim victory.
Chocked full of captivating and jaunty sailor’s yarns and enthralling adventures, this unique and imaginative series is a must-read for every pirate aficionado!
my thoughts:
Pirates, Captains, and Heroes, oh my! I love a great adventure story - they are always fun to read and chock full of action, drama, and unexpected surprises. Viking Pirate by Kevin C. Smith is no exception - this story is such an exciting treat to read. The words, "Ahoy, matey!" and "Swashbuckling pirates" kept running through my head as I read the book. I really enjoyed getting caught up in Captain Bilge's battle with the Viking Pirate - it was crazy and wild, exactly what you would expect in a pirate adventure, or should I call it misadventure. After all, the Viking Pirate is a cannibal - how savage and psychotic is that?! And, Captain Bilge must figure out a way to beat this rogue monster and keep his ship running. Talk about a seaworthy read!
Make sure to check out this cool series about pirates, sailors and captains - you will have so much fun getting caught up in their adventures. I know that I did. Viking Pirate was such a fun read!

I've never heard of this series...but I do love reading about pirates. :D
Lark, me either and then I was offered a chance to read this one and decided to go for it. Sometimes it's fun to read something you wouldn't normally pick up. And, pirates, well, how could I resist :)
