中文概要: 公元1873年：维多利亚时代即将来临，海盗的黄金时代已接近尾声。为了不让无聊的海盗水手们不至于整天游手好闲，不是向当地漂亮小姐抛眉眼，就是在热带海滩上无所事事，把足够多的水母贴在一起搭成一个有弹性的碉堡，海盗船长决定要让他们去冒一次险。 他们偶然间遇上了踌躇满志、年轻气胜的达尔文---他正着手开始那个有朝一日会让他名声蜚外的探险航行。船长和他那帮乌合之众的船员们受到了达尔文的启发，离开那座充满异域风情的加拉帕哥斯群岛(位于厄瓜多尔西部) 来到了浓雾弥漫的维多利亚时期的伦敦，那里他们遭遇了血腥的谋杀、失踪了的小姐、魔鬼般的主教、象人，当然他们还去了那里的动物园，玩得颇为开心。《海盗》是本嘻嘻哈哈的小说：荒诞绝伦、蠢得不可就药、但又委婉世故、见解深刻。很少有书会在探讨科学与宗教对立这样沉重的话题的同时，还会通篇描写一群咆哮、奔放的人物。

英文简介: 1837: the Victorian Era approaches and the golden age of piracy draws to a close. Worried that his pirates are getting bored with a life of winking at pretty native ladies, sitting about on tropical beaches, and trying to stick enough jellyfish together to make a bouncy castle, the Pirate Captain decides it’s time they had an adventure. A chance encounter with the young Charles Darwin - embarked upon the voyage of discovery that will one day make him famous - leads the Captain and his rag-tag crew from the exotic Galapagos Islands to the fog filled streets of Victorian London, where they encounter grisly murder, vanishing ladies, a diabolical Bishop, the Elephant Man, and have an exciting trip to the zoo. THE PIRATES! is a rollicking read: uproariously funny, unexplainably daft, gently knowing and insightful - one of the very few books to deal with the weighty issues of science versus religion, whilst at the same time featuring a lot of roaring and running people through.

英文简介: The world’s most renowned volcanologist mysteriously disappears after a lecture on geophysical catastrophes. Two policemen are found brutally executed on the steps of London’s nearby Albert Hall. Then, Mount St Helen’s suddenly and inexplicably erupts in Washington State, leaving a wake of death and destruction. The new, liberal administration in the White House ignores these apparent coincidences, but the retired Admiral Morgan, former National Security Adviser to the President, and Lt. Jimmy Ramshawe are shocked into action. Only a missile, launched from a nuclear submarine, could have had the power to blow up the volcano. Is this the fabled HAMAS terrorist, Major Ray Kerman, at work again? Their suspicions are quickly confirmed by a HAMAS ultimatum: Total military evacuation of the Middle East or the terrible threat of a mega-tsunami - the greatest tidal wave in 4000 years of world history. Both men know immediately what that means: the volcano Cumbre Vieja, glowering over the island La Palma in the Canaries. A nuclear missile, such as Kerman’s brand-new, state-of-the-art Scimitar SL-2, launched straight at the heart of the volcano would explode the mountain into the Atlantic ocean and send a tidal wave towards the East Coast of the United States, at 400 miles an hour, with waves 150 feet high. Resolutely, the Pentagon refuses to buckle and Admiral Morgan is swept back into the White House to implement Operation High Tide - a desperate race to evacuate the East Coast and locate the nuclear submarine before it launches its deadly weapon.
