I discovered the ARC on Netgalley and absolutely had to read this!
A throughout entertaining anthology about Pirate Cats. There are a lot of different approaches, from classic pirate tales, steampunk airships, cats-turned-human, human-turned-cat, and spaceships, the stories don't get boring. Some read faster, some are very well-written, some make you sad, but I found something to enjoy about all of them.

Perhaps it’s because I am not much of a cat lover, as I found it difficult to become immersed in this collection of pirate felines. The actual writing of each author was good and a few of the story plotlines stood apart from the rest.
My favorite story? That had to be Rose Strikman’s “Cat at the Helm, a blend of cat-fantasy, magic, and virtual reality. A close second was “The Furgeldt Collector.” Law officer Marshmallow Mittens had already lived eight lives, and the struggle between duty and not putting the ninth and final life in jeopardy is only the first hurdle in Joseph Halden’s story. “Buccaneer’s Revenge” by JB Riley brought a few smiles to my face with the constant puns and clever twists on names and places. Megan Fennell’s “The Pride” is a story of redemption and the battle to return to where you really belong.
Okay, maybe some of the stories did grab my attention. And if I overlook a lifetime dedicated to being a dog lover, this collection deserves at least three-and-a-half stars. When you include the talented writing exhibited by all the authors, it’s easy to round that to four.
My thanks to NetGalley and Tyche Books for a complimentary electronic copy of this book.
