Richard a Average

Mobydyptera Richard a Average

Mobydyptera is a seafaring rollercoaster ride in Richard Average's signature erudite pipe-in-cheek style. It is the story of a young follower of the obscure philosopher Catallanus, at odds with family and friends, who finds himself shanghaied aboard a strange ship where darkness, distrust, and worst-case scenarios lurk behind every mast and bulkhead... until he enlists the aid of a pair of Greek seamen...and things just get curiouser and curiouser... An adventurous yarn, the story is filled with one unexpected careering down the hatch after another, where you might encounter itinerant dentists, knife-wielding boatswains, scientific experiments in Time, insect romance, philosophically vengeful ships captains, and other high-seas high jinks.
