Pirates! fans everywhere: We are proud to announce the 4th installment of Gideon Defoe’s madcap PIRATES! series. If you’ve never read Gideon Defoe’s books before, we strongly suggest you start now!

For those of you who are familiar with the series, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Napoleon does not disappoint. Publishers Weekly insists that “lovers of Monty Python and the novels of Cabin Boy star Chris Elliott will appreciate this sendup of swashbuckling sea adventures.”

Kirkus raves that PIRATES! is “relentlessly, aggressively, inventively and often hilariously silly.”

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Napoleon is a swashbuckling tale of lavish tea parties, planning regulations, educational museum exhibits, and naked political ambition. And—unlike all of its thrilling predecessors—there is not much ham involved.

And the best part: the first 2 people to email pantheon@randomhouse.com will receive a *free* copy in the mail!
