Blaggard’s Moon by George Bryan Polivka

Yo Ho and a bottle of rum..

a pirates life for me…

okay maybe not for me, but a book… A pirates tale.  Now that’s for me!  After all the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies and such that have been about the past few years I thought diving into this book would be an ease!

I must admit the first chapter I couldn’t get into it.  It gave a W-I-D-E overview and I didn’t see a focus.  The second chapter I started to see a bit more form and started to meet a few characters. By the third chapter I was hooked!

The part I love about it:

- the different stories going… Delaney sitting on the post (waiting to be eaten by the mermonkey’s.  lol) and his reminiscing; a love story entangled in the throws of adventure!  Not too mushy – just enough of both to capture me, and hold me captive til the end.  I still wanted more when I was done!  I was rather sad that it was acutally finished — and that is a sign of a great book — when you know you want more!

Blaggard’s Moon is the prequel to the Trophy Case Trilogy which includes: “The Legend Of The Firefish”, “The Hand That Bears The Sword”, and “The Battle For Vast Dominion”.

I am impressed with Polivka’s depth of storytelling.  He really captured me (after that little rocky beginning) and I had a hard time putting the book down.   Polivka writes with such imagery and detail that I do think both Christian and non- Christian will enjoy this book.

And quite honestly, I’d love to see the movie if there ever is one!
