About This Book

A young man decides to leave England to search for missing family in distant colonies, and his choice triggers sea voyages, encounters with colonial unrest, and episodes of shipboard peril. The narrative alternates between domestic planning and fast-paced action abroad, following rescue attempts, skirmishes on land and improvised survival at sea, while examining duty, loyalty, and the personal costs of navigating political violence and hazardous travel.
