In this book, the reader takes on the role of the captain of the pirate vessel "Banshee". The story begins with a contest between the reader and his or her most powerful rival pirate, Abdul the Butcher. Each will take a ship across the sea to the isle of Nippur. Whoever makes it to the destination within the fifty day time limit with the most gold will be declared "King of Pirates". The book includes rules for combat between vessels.

This gamebook is different from other Fighting Fantasy titles in that you and your crew are able to engage in some particularly brutal and bloodthirsty actions (such as taking slaves), not becoming of a typical hero.

Other media

The book was loosely adapted into an Adventure Soft text adventure game for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and Amstrad CPC.
