Concluding the story begun in The Secret of the Unicorn, Red Rackham's Treasure follows Tintin and friends as they search for the pirate booty procured by Captain Haddock's ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock, in the West Indies. They receive some unexpected help in the form of a hard-of-hearing inventor named Professor Calculus, who would go on to become one of the most endearing characters of the series. (Herge admitted that the character was one "whom I never suspected would take on such importance.") It's a lot of fun, with some submarine and diving adventures, humor from the Thompsons, and an unexpected (but satisfying) ending. --David Horiuchi
"Tintin and the Captain have successfully found the co-ordinates of the island where Sir Francis was marooned after his encounter with Red Rackham. They go on a treasure hunt to the island.
This is the book where we encounter Professor Calculus for the first time as he offers to let them use his ant-shark submarine to explore the ocean floor and look for the Unicorn."
