Summary
"London, 1840: Wagner's latest opera plays to packed houses while disgruntled workers gather in crowded pubs. Meanwhile, the Pirate Captain finds himself incarcerated at Scotland Yard, in a case of mistaken identity. The Captain and his crew are unwittingly caught up in a sinister plot that involves intellectual giants (including Karl Marx), enormous beards, and a quest to discover whether ham might really be the opium of the people."--Back cover.
