Swashbucklers
Dan
Hanks
Out 9th November from Angry Robot
"When Cisco Collins returns to his home town thirty years after saving it from being swallowed by a hell mouth opened by an ancient pirate ghost, he realises that being a childhood hero isn't like it was in the movies. Especially when nobody remembers the heroic bits – even the friends who once fought alongside him.
Struggling with single parenting and treated as a bit of a joke,
Cisco isn't really in the Christmas spirit like everyone else. A fact that's
made worse by the tendrils of the pirate's powers creeping back into our world
and people beginning to die in bizarre ways.
With the help of a talking fox, an enchanted forest, a long-lost friend
haunting his dreams, and some 80s video game consoles turned into weapons,
Cisco must now convince his friends to once again help him save the day. Yet
they quickly discover that being a ghostbusting hero is so much easier when you
don't have school runs, parent evenings, and nativity plays to attend. And even
in the middle of a supernatural battle, you always need to bring snacks and
wipes..."
"Swashbucklers brings
all the magic of the 80’s back to life, and delivers a fun, action-packed tale
with heart."
