The Reavers
The Reavers is a 2007 comic novel from George MacDonald Fraser set during the Elizabethan Era.
It was the last novel Fraser published in his lifetime.
"This book is nonsense," said Fraser. "It is meant to be... wildly over the top, written for the fun of it."
His daughter Caro Fraser called this and The Pyrates "dazzling masterpieces of the surreal, quite unlike anything in comic fiction. I told him The Reavers was like Terry Gilliam on speed, and although they're probably unfilmable and beyond the competence of any mortal director, I believe GMF saw them on screen in his minds eye when he created them."
