Description:

Armed with nothing more than a book on pirate philosophy and a collection of quixotic pirate anecdotes, it doesn't take long for Captain Montague to accumulate a crew of anachronistic modern-day pirates to do his bidding. No one knows quite what his plans are, but they'll do whatever he says as long as they get to dress up as pirates and blow things up.

Maria is really just trying to figure out who she is and where she belongs. Pirate philosophy seems to hold a key to her identity, but why doesn't she identify with the other pirates?

Meanwhile, Elliot thinks that the pirate mystery is a good opportunity to experiment with some of the unorthodox methods of detective work he's developed.

Influenced by Douglas Adams, Ron Gilbert, Benjamin Constant, Aardman Animations and some of the better books of Robert Rankin.

Well, who'd believe me if I put 6 hmm? No, you'd turn away from the screen in disgust from a budding fangirl. But seriously, this has cult written all over it.
.... Okay, so it has Pirate Space written all over it, but only because most cultures believe in putting a book's title on the cover is more important.
Cutting the comedy (I can't help it, the book has an impish spirit I couldn't help but try and fail miserably to emulate) Pirate Space is a wickedly incisive collection of observations and imaginations that combine like:
a) Voltron,
b) Ducks and l'Oranges,
or
c) Religion and Politics
to create a unique vista that blows away all your preconceived ideas about such things as "sum" and "parts".
Prepare to have your mind expanded or simply blown away.
