... with a little 'zombie' action!
That's not the end of him, however as he's washed up on a native islander's shore. The natives help him get better, but he has a fight with some zombies and transforms into a much older self within a few month's time. When Bartholomew finally reunites with Abe he at first doesn't recognize him. There's some stuff about the 'fountain of youth' (Ponce De Lion and the Conquistadors' time) where Bart maybe can undo the zombie bite curse of a shortened life.
While there was a fairly solid story being told here, there wasn't much in it to firmly set it squarely in the 'pirate tale' genre. Heart Shaped Ambition is more the story of one man rather than a group of privateers looking for self-gain.
