About This Book

A first-person narrator joins his friend Martin Hall and a cast of sailors in a hunt for a mysterious iron-clad raider that preys on merchant shipping. Action alternates between tense night chases, shipboard peril, and grim discoveries—prisons of steel, cove murders, robberies, and arctic voyages—while enigmatic figures such as Captain Black loom over events. Episodes shift between sea engagements and shore-based investigation, gradually revealing the raider’s methods, motives, and the moral and physical costs of pursuit, as personal loyalties and survival are tested against mounting danger.
