Pyrates

Chugging away at George MacDonald Fraiser's Pyrates.

I am enjoying this so much more than the Flashman books I've attempted.

I knew he could write something I'd like!  Because I'd enjoyed "Quartered Safe Out Here."

But it was striking me as familiar...

Then it hit me!  Nick Pollotta used a style very similar to this in his Bureau 13 books.

It's fun.

    The first time I ever read it, I was laughing so much that Bill Gerber (RIP) wanted to know what was so funny. When I showed him, he made damn sure to reserve the book at the Ames Public Library.

    I think Pyrates is the only one I haven't read. Have you read the Scottish Regiment stories?
