The Reavers is a 2007 comic novel from George MacDonald Fraser set during the Elizabethan Era.
It was the last novel Fraser published in his lifetime.[1]
"This book is nonsense," said Fraser. "It is meant to be... wildly over the top, written for the fun of it."[2]
His daughter Caro Fraser called this and The Pyrates "dazzling masterpieces of the surreal, quite unlike anything in comic fiction. I told him The Reavers was like Terry Gilliam on speed, and although they're probably unfilmable and beyond the competence of any mortal director, I believe GMF saw them on screen in his minds eye when he created them."[3]
