Black Panther 1,581 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 For worst opening sentence for an adventure novel: Adventure Winner "Haul away on those slug guskets, you bilge-scum!" roared the aged captain, leaning wearily against the starboard clog-hutch and watching as the mizzen spittlestoat rose majestically upward until it cuzzled atop the upper spit flukes, and cursing his fate that rum and advancing years compelled him to continually improvise names for the rigging of his own ship but then deciding, with a resigned sigh, that it didn't really matter. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
