Les aventuriers de l’Urraca

Captain Sherman, the most eloquent and imaginative of pirates, knows how to motivate his troops when morale is low. And unfortunately, it usually is because the captain has a weakness: he rarely finds any treasures. However, he has been exploring a lead for some time now, one that quickly proves to be full of promise. One of his friends, an art dealer, has given him a rare text
that will put him and his crew back on the right track. Pandora, a giant squid, is said to have swallowed a treasure carried by a Spanish ship from the New World. It’s no surprise that the idea of such a treasure arouses a great amount of superstitious excitement and desire. Despite the crew’s enthusiasm, many pitfalls await them in their search for riches. Sherman will also have to be
wary of the underhanded trickery of an old rival: Rostand the Damned! This privateer, a former pirate, is in pursuit of Sherman’s ship, the Urraca. Captain Sherman likes to make his men travel, and not only towards the horizon: he tells them a thousand tales of adventures and sumptuous landscapes. But what is this whimsical man hiding in his quarters among the hundreds of books that surround him?
