About This Book
Rex Britton awakens aboard his steam-yacht when it strikes a coasting vessel in an Algerian harbor, then dives into a chaotic rescue as the smaller ship founders and passengers panic. He forces order among frantic crews, summons harbor craft, and helps women and children to safety while confronting dangerous, lawless behavior. Later episodes continue in the same adventurous vein, featuring high-stakes races, ominous confrontations with a Corsican antagonist, and the discovery of native gold, all driving a series of action-filled pursuits that probe courage, leadership, and the strains of sudden violence and temptation.
