About This Book
A narrator recently returned from wartime service struggles to readjust to civilian life and is soon swept into a fast-paced series of maritime and inland adventures. Mistaken identity aboard a yacht introduces a spirited young woman and triggers a chain of events: storms at sea, mysterious antagonists, explosions, chases, cave rescues, encounters with hostile forces, romantic developments, and a hunt for hidden treasure. The story combines action set pieces, elements of suspense and danger, and moments of personal reflection and growing affection, moving from intimate shipboard scenes to dramatic rescues and a climactic unmasking of villainy.
