Skeeg Horntoof is an ork with big dreams: the biggest hat, the most dakka, and the ambition to become the greatest freebooter the galaxy has ever seen. As kaptin of Gork's Revenge, he is guided by Da Freebooterz Code – a set of rules so outrageous they just might work.

Rival gangs seize both opportunity and territory, and forbidden cults grow ever bolder.

They rated me negligible. Placed me in the basement. Nobody ever stopped to read the fine print on the man who reads everything. I’m the night librarian at the Conservatory.

Then I get into the reserve, the secret stacks under the stacks, and the system that’s whispered to me my whole life wakes up. The ...
