About This Book

The narrative follows two recently demobilized seafarers who, unable to settle to ordinary shore life, sign on for a hazardous salvage of a stranded ship. Their skill and friendship are strained by crew unrest and a mutiny plot, a collision that sinks a vessel, and being stranded on the wrong island, then by a fierce hurricane and an explosive naval encounter. A mix of daring improvisation, aerial and small-boat action, and a clever ruse ultimately brings rescue, the settling of accounts with hostile adversaries, and a resolution of the salvage adventure.
