About this listen

The first adventure in the New York Times bestselling fantasy trilogy from the legendary million-selling author and creator of Drizzt Do’Urden.

In Pinquickle’s Folly, New York Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore returns to his signature world of Corona, introducing a dynamic new part of the southern coast never written of before as a great starting place for listeners in the DemonWars Saga: The Buccaneers.

The first adventure in the Buccaneers trilogy begins in the free sea outside of the control of the usurping Xoconai empire, where the dwarven powrie pirates and merchants sail. But the golden-skinned Xoconai have begun to encroach upon these waters behind the rapacious attacks of the frigate Crocodile, helmed by Captain Aketz. But when forced to submit, these sailors choose to live, free to do as they please, without some fool or another pretending to hold power over them.

Fantasy master R. A. Salvatore brings together a misfit band of Xoconai, powerie, and human sailors—once enemies, now fierce friends with a common enemy, and the spark of rebellion in this action-packed piratical adventure.

Seafaring Salvatore always delights

Salvatore gets a chance to shine even brighter away from the forgotten realms. This universe he has got to build is so full of amazing characters and backdrops. Twist and turns both physically and narratively kept this a very interesting read. You can tell he delights when he gets to write about the seas. Cannot wait for more, if it is coming.

Excellent !!!!

I really enjoyed The Demon Wars Saga, 1&2 as well as the “The Saga of the First King series, and The trilogy of the Coven: Child of a Mad God; Reckoning of a Fallen Gods; and Song of a Risen God. I’m wondering if it’s all going to tie together. Excellent stories all of them! I’m looking forward to the next installment!

Bob Brings Buccaneers Back!

What a wonderful return to Corona! The sense of adventure, a new type of story in a wonderful, familiar world, this is something that I have come to expect when Bob writes a new trilogy in his world. Excellent Characters, great plot and high adventure!

Welcome home me hearties - yo ho

Love it!
I've been reading Salvatore books for a long while, from way back when Ice Wind Dale was barely spoken about. This feels fresh, this feels like what people have been saying - it's an awesome jumping on point for those wanting to dip their toes into the world of Corona without drowning in previous books (tho I would encourage anyone to pick em up and expand the history of what's going on).
For a first book - introducing characters, it was even paced so you had an understanding of what each character brings to the table. Some characters are fleshed out more then others but with Salvatore that is usually planned. He isn't one to give up all the secrets in the first book, or why would you be interested in a 2nd? The story flows thru the various acts and sets up nicely for more to come without being overly demanding and leaves you wondering just what might be on the horizon (and of course making you wait it out - the only really bad thing about this series).
Would I recommend - in a heart beat
Salvatore has a way to making a mundane character into something interesting. He has this tendency to make you want to care about a character or a race you just want to pigeon hole into something else all together. Powries are more then what I've read in the original Demon Wars - much like dark elves in previous books. You have to love the exploration into various races and their societies.

Again - this book is up there, almost like a refreshing start on something old and something new. It sets up a whole new place to play in the Salvatore world and it offers great characts, a great setting and a story that keeps you turning pages (or listening on audible or lighting up the night on kindle). Rarely do I have something where it's all praise and no complaints - this is one of those times.
