I liked this book. A lot. I've been a fan of Yahtzee's Zero Punctuation videos for a long time so liking his books is no surprise.
The story is told from the eponymous hero's perspective (if you can call a pirate a hero) as he recounts his adventures as a sky pirate and his search for... something.
It's daft, it's funny, it's an easy read and it's free.
One I'll definitely re-read in future.

I am probably the only person in the world who's read this novel twice, because once I got started I realised I'd definitely read it before and also that I was feeling too bloody-minded to stop.

One for the completist.

The first book - almost a three. Doesn't feel like a first book.
