Greenbeard

Prepare to set sail on an extraordinary adventure! Richard James Bentley’s Greenbeard, a swashbuckling sci-fi romp now available as an audiobook, introduces Captain Sylvestre de Greybagges, a Cambridge-educated lawyer turned Caribbean pirate.

De Greybagges, a man as comfortable debating the virtues of Shakespeare and Newton as he is wielding a cutlass, navigates the treacherous waters of the Caribbean, his wit as sharp as his blade. When a rumor of a silver-laden fleet ignites his ambition, Captain de Greybagges sets sail, only to encounter something far more unexpected than treasure.

Emerging from this bizarre ordeal with his sanity barely intact and his beard inexplicably transformed to a vibrant shade of green, de Greybagges rallies his crew, The Ark de Triomphe, for a thrilling quest for revenge.

This rollicking tale, brimming with hilarious puns, sly references to Pynchon, Treasure Island, and 1940s cinema, is a delightful blend of historical adventure and fantastical elements. Narrated by the award-winning voice artist Colby Elliott, Greenbeard is a must-listen for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean, Doctor Who, and anyone seeking a thrilling and imaginative escape.

Richard James Bentley

Richard James Bentley, a man who could easily pass for a seasoned sea captain with his rugged good looks, boasts a remarkably diverse career path. His journey began in the somewhat less glamorous realm of used car sales, followed by a surprising detour into aeronautical engineering as a designer on a zeppelin project.

Intrigued by the burgeoning world of computers, Bentley shifted gears, authoring a series of technical manuals that, while undoubtedly informative, may not have been the most riveting reads.

Now residing in the north of England, Bentley has finally embraced his inner storyteller, channeling his eclectic experiences into his debut novel, Greenbeard. This captivating tale marks a new chapter in his multifaceted career.

I narrated this audiobook because of the wonderful plot and amazing variety of characters. Pirates and aliens? Yes, please!

The characters, the wordplay (puns especially), and the whimsical nature of the story just builds and builds. This is a fun, wonderful listen that audiences will be talking about and quoting for many months to come.
