About This Book

An elderly shipowner and lumber magnate hands daily control to an efficient, ambitious manager whose cost-cutting methods and dominance unsettle the firm; a younger seaman, Matt Peasley, becomes enmeshed in office politics, commercial rivalries and maritime clashes that lead to exile, promotion, and the founding of his own enterprise. The narrative follows boardroom maneuvers, sea-borne confrontations, and personal reckonings as authority is challenged and reasserted, relationships are tested, and practical generosity and strategic cunning bring about reconciliation, business recovery, and personal advancement.
