Length: 14 hr., 45 min. Publisher: Isis Audio Books, 1995, The Pyrates is all swashbucklers that ever were, rolled into one great technicolored pantomime., 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 youll find tall ships and desert islands; impossibly gallant adventurers and glamorous heroines; devilishly sinister cads and ghastly dungeons; improbably acrobatic duels and hairs-breadth escapes; and more plot twists than you can shake a rapier at. A deliriously entertaining combination of old Errol Flynn 1940s action-adventure and Naked Gun pastiche., Many references in the book are to people or events unknown to most of you but a few minutes into the boo0k and you will be caught up in Frasers wonderful silliness and you wont care., Niigel Lamberts reading is over-the-top as it should be., Enjoy.
