I heard an interview on NPR with Gideon Defoe, author of
The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists, and decided I should pick up the book. It's a really short read (110 pages or so) and was a really quick read, but was quite funny. I really didn't expect yet another encounter with the Royal Society in fiction this summer, but got it, along with wacky anachronism and the man-panzee.
