Adventure doesn't always answer distress calls politely...Patches is a fifteen-year-old boy who somehow keeps ending up in places no sane human should be-deep space, dangerous planets, and now... pirate-infested seas filled with glowing slime. He's brave, resourceful, and doing his best to live up to the word heroic, even when things go terribly, hilariously wrong.Roy, his loyal (and extremely smelly) dog, is along for the ride-snacks in paw, trouble close behind, and absolutely convinced that every situation can be improved with confidence, chaos, and questionable decision-making.When a routine distress signal pulls their ship into the briny depths of a strange ocean world, Patches and Roy find themselves tangled up with real pirates (yes, the YARRR kind), mysterious sea slime, unpredictable monsters, and a crew that might be more dangerous than the planet itself. With Ziggy the AI rapidly losing patience, pirates claiming the captain's quarters, and Roy leaving his mark on every system imaginable, survival becomes a test of teamwork, courage, and humor under pressure.The Buccaneers of Brine and the Swashbuckling Sea Slime Saga is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud sci-fi adventure filled with heart, danger, and ridiculous fun-perfect for readers who love space exploration, unlikely heroes, and a dog who absolutely should not be left unattended.Because sometimes being an explorer extraordinaire means just holding on... and hoping the ship doesn't explode.
