About This Book

An ambitious young seaman rises through the towboat ranks to command a powerful tug, facing storms, shipboard combats, dangerous rescues, and isolated nights adrift. He undergoes moral tests, performs self-sacrifices, survives an attempted assassination and the burning of a vessel, and undertakes hazardous assignments that blur legality and duty. A growing attachment to a passenger threads through the episodes, and steadfast courage and practical skill determine his maturation.
