Fate hurls Lliam Shaun Hooligan, an abysmally ignorant, violent and often drunk tramp into the orbit of slave traders, abolitionists, lords of the land and representatives of great nations. His iron-hard nature, fundamental decency and extraordinary generosity will see him obtain five enemy ships by piracy and arson, take aboard those vessels hundreds of Scottish crofters burned-out pursued and starving and carry them and a gigantic quantity of French armaments from Nantes to Valley Forge and the Army of the Continent under General George Washington, fighting, copulating and drinking all of the way.
