| Summary: | So how do you go to the toilet on a great sailing warship? Worse, what do you do when your breeches are about your ankles, your naked nether regions are hanging out over the dark frothing ocean twenty feet below and you're cornered by a hideous phantom, hell-bent on revenge? Young Jimmy has a problem. No, it's not the crazy men in his gun crew, the older bully boys, awful amputations, exploding diarrhea or the food that would make a landlubber ill. Jimmy's problem is that he can see the dead. And they scare the flapping halibut out of him! Worse still, the ship is headed for bloodcurdling battle where the dead will be thick as flies, maybe even as thick as some of Jimmy's crew mates. As the odds pile against him, can Jimmy turn his secret curse into a powerful ally? |
