About this title

Synopsis:

The Legendary 'Loot Of A Thousand Worlds' Inspires An Intergalactic Treasure Hunt; When rebellious teenager Jim Hawkins stumbles upon a map to the greatest pirate trove in the universe, he kicks off a futuristic twist on one of the most exciting adventure stories ever told - Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Treasure Planet follows Jim's fantastic journey across a parallel universe as cabin boy aboard a glittering space galleon. Befriended by the ship's charismatic cyborg cook (part man, part machine), John Silver, Jim blossoms under his guidance as he and the alien crew battle supernovas, black holes, and ferocious space storms. But even greater dangers lie ahead when Jim discovers that his trusted friend Silver is actually a scheming pirate with mutiny on his mind. Legends of pirate treasure and the lore of literary pirates, including the legacy of Robert Louis Stevenson, and a look at the loot of a thousand worlds are all featured in this richly illustrated volume which will be treasured by buccaneers of all ages.

This book goes behind the sails to discover the film's evolution and the development of it's characters, weaponry, and technology, as well as explore the fascinating histories of actual pirates who sailed the seven seas. Part techno-log, part field guide, this book is brimming with diagrams, gadgets and gizmos, fun facts, and fascinating anecdotes.
