Red Seas Under Red Skies
Second of the ‘Gentleman Bastard’ series, following up from the brilliant The Lies of Locke Lamora
In Red Seas, Locke and Jean end up having various piratical adventures on the high seas. Generous dollops of treason, double-crossing, triple-crossing, sneaky high jinks, cunning escapes and thrilling cons. Reminded me of the Pirates of the Caribbean series in places. Huge amounts of fun trying to work out how on earth the author will manage to get our heroes out of this and that.
Republic of Thieves is out in March 2010, according to Amazon. Whatever you do, don’t read the Amazon page until you’ve read this book first! Major spoilers etc.
If you’ve read both, you might be interested to know that Scott has posted up the prologue to book #3 on his website…
