pirate, Captain Fletcher, must cope with the uncanny problems posed by
time-displacement, an alien "cabin boy;' captives sentenced towalk the
plank who drown but do not die, and an ominous battleship that has
sneaked in from a different point in the galaxy. How the "cabin boy"
struggles to restore his ship, fight off the enemy battleship, and
prevent Earth's history from being irrevocably changed, makes for a
wonderful adventure that blends futuristic time-travel with the
swashbuckling excitement of l8th-Century pirates.
