The Pirate, (Hardcover)

Death is a gamer.

Who knew?

Not Ethan, at least, not before a terrible accident left his best friend dying, and the Grim Reaper gave him a chance to win back his buddy's soul.

All he has to do is beat the dark angel in a race within the Captains & Cannons universe.

Should be simple enough. After all, Ethan is no stranger to MMOs.

But when Ethan fires up his computer, he's sucked into a world filled with sea dogs and serpents, all of which are far too real for his taste.

To make matters worse, he hasn't a farthing to his name and just two weeks to build his skills, find a crew, and buy a ship before the regatta starts, or he'll lose by default.

Thankfully, when he meets Zoey, a seasoned pirate and player, she offers her help in exchange for his, and he gladly accepts the deal.

What follows is a treacherous adventure on the high seas where Ethan will need to become the most cunning and savvy player to have entered the game if he's to survive the ordeal and triumph over Death.
