Pirates: Monkey Troubles

by Daryl K. Cobb

When Monk doesn’t return promptly from his mission to find Captain Paul, Peter is sick with worry. And to make matters worse his dreams of a mysterious bottle with a note inside has a message that is deadly and more real than Peter could have imagined. The characters are rich and beautifully rendered, and the story is sprinkled with humor.
Much of the dialogue − especially between Peter and Monk and Antonio and Marcus − is delightfully silly.
