Avast, intrepid reader! Behold yon inky treasure!
A beautiful airship corsair determined to reveal a government conspiracy. An interstellar outlaw bent on avenging the murders of her fellow crewmates. A pirate captain whose hatred of mer-people endangers his ship and crew. A ghost trapped in the wreckage of a privateering ship.
From the early voyages of a young, ambitious Gaius Julius Caesar, to a sorceress hunting buccaneers along the post-Civil War Mississippi, to the bombastic pronouncements of a cat-hating ship's AI, pirates have long captured the imagination, whether bound to the sea or preying on vessels in the great void of space.
In Skull X Bones, speculative fiction authors Steven Harper, Alex Bledsoe, Alan Smale, E.J. Delaney, Violette Malan, Adam Stemple, Nemo Herndon, Alena Van Arendonk, Gloria Wickman, R.S. Belcher, Jennifer Brozek, R.M. Olson, Misty Massey, and C.C. Finlay immerse us in the worlds of privateers, buccaneers, corsairs, marauders, and pirates. So strap on a blade or flintlock or laser and keep a keen eye on the horizon. Because dead men DO tell tales, and here there be monsters of the deep.
