A Fighting Fantasy Journey
Book sixteen: Seas of Blood
A swashbuckling pirate adventure by Andrew Chapman and like talisman of death illustrated by Bob Harvey. This adventure is set on the continent of Khul on Titan far away from Allansia. This book hasn't had a modern printing and I can guess why. We play a pirate who takes on a wager with rival Abdul the butcher to see who can make the most money raiding in 50 days. In a sinbad inspired adventure we raid and pillage. We also I slave captives and sell them at market. I can't imagine that's wanted in a kids book today. 
We travel south across the map to numerous locations to Rob. 
We have rules for crew and ship to ship combat in this book. My favourite scene is when we attack a shop and a passenger is a wizard who casts spells at you. If you defeat them the other passengers tie up the wizard and throw him overboard in disgust for making me angry. In good faith you only inslave half of them 
Every good sinbad style adventure needs a cyclops
it also need Caroline Munroe as a slave girl but the book is sadly lacking in this department.
My word Caroline Munroe. The one highlight of Dracula 1972AD – well apart from Peter Cushing working out Alucrad is just Dracula backwards!!
Also I have zero memory of this book! But it sounds brilliant!
Oh yes… Caroline Munro from The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973) and very memorable as a helicopter pilot in James Bond’s The Spy who Loved me… you are quite right she’s missing from Seas of Blood, but I guess with many stories in the series our hero never seems to be able keep his companions alive for more than a few pages anyway – so if she did appear, it wouldn’t be for long! ?
Again, a memorable cover to this one.
