Book One: Remarkable Rascal Synopsis

William Eden and brother Toby are two helpless orphans in early 1700 London. Taken in by an aged clerical uncle, the boys are assigned specific maintenance duties in the cavernous Saint Agnes of Agony Basilica. By day, their duty is to clean, wax and maintain the aged facility for their uncle whose failing eyesight prevents his presence or assistance. Each day the lads are also provided a “lesson de jour” by their learned and caring relative who bestows upon them quite a solid education.

Book Two: Black Tarantula Synopsis

The series centers on a young lad and his lifelong trials and tribulations. Orphaned as a youth, our hero is forced to flee his beloved homeland due to the evil machinations of a despicable bully. Highly educated by a cleric uncle and fluent in a slew of foreign languages, the youth is forced to quickly adapt to the rigorous and unmerciful life as a sailor. By fate’s grace, the burgeoning tar has been gifted with a special ability to duplicate all manner of sounds and voices, which enables him to outwit contemptible adversaries and avoid mortal dangers throughout his travels.

A maniacal fiend masquerading as a thieving pirate has intentionally catapulted the entirety of the West Indies into utmost panic and pandemonium. This dastardly hellion’s moniker is the Black Tarantula. Far more demon than mortal, this pirate rogue delights in the torture, persecution and outright slaughter of countless innocents both on land as well at sea. Landlubbers and sailors alike are fraught with harrowing dread and unmitigated apprehension at the mere mention of this degenerate demon’s name. Although a decidedly daunting and perilous undertaking, there exists one gallant and heroic individual willing to risk all in a showdown with this unconscionable lunatic. His name is Captain William Bilge, the courageous narrator and protagonist of the Bilge Rat, Pirate Adventurer series.

Welcome to the Golden Age of Piracy! This exceedingly brief but profoundly memorable time span spawned copious well-known reprobates such as Blackbeard, Calico Jack and Black Bart to name but a few.
