  YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE  
  PORT OF BRISTOL 1690 
  Book 6 of 6 – The Great water balloon ambush 
  Here is the summary of the Story: 
  In 1690s Bristol, young Edward Teach (future Blackbeard) leads his crew in their most daring raid yet—ambushing their own parents' picnic with water balloons. After days of restless boredom aboard The Salty Pickle, Edward masterminds the attack: modified spud cannons launch pig-bladder balloons, Charles leads a bucket brigade, and Anne's piercing scream signals the assault. The crew infiltrates the meadow with military precision, soaking the unsuspecting adults in a glorious, chaotic battle. Though initially stunned, the parents join the fun, surrendering their soggy sandwiches with laughter. This final adventure showcases Edward's tactical genius and flair for dramatic command—qualities that would later make him history's most feared pirate. The story blends authentic period details with childhood whimsy, concluding the series by demonstrating how Blackbeard's legendary leadership began with simple backyard adventures and loyal friends who followed him into any mischief.  
  This is the last of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this final instalment, and it's only $3. 
  the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes being accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig. The closing music ends the tale on a similar jig and at about 2 minutes with the same musical instruments but more upbeat looking forward to the next episode.  
  The story itself runs to about 35 minutes is narrated in my own voice.  
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

  The Ultimate Vice by A. Bertram Chandler - Hallam wanted to get out of space – but even more he wanted to make a fortune first. Now he had found a way to do it – by selling – The Ultimate Vice. 
  A. Bertram Chandler (1912-1984) was an Australian science fiction author best known for his extensive John Grimes series, set in the Rim World universe. Chandler’s career as a merchant marine officer deeply influenced his writing, infusing his stories with authentic nautical and spacefaring details. He explored themes of exploration, isolation, and the human condition in the vastness of space. Chandler’s protagonists, particularly Grimes, are often depicted as pragmatic, resourceful, and somewhat rebellious figures navigating the complexities of interstellar bureaucracy and the challenges of frontier life. His works blend adventure, hard science fiction, and social commentary, often reflecting his fascination with alternative realities and parallel universes. Chandler’s storytelling is marked by a sense of wonder and a deep respect for the exploratory spirit. Although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, his contributions to the genre have earned him a dedicated following.
