About This Book

Episodimainen meritarina etenee myrskyistä ja haaksirikoista lähtien, kun selviytyjät kamppailevat ravinnon, pelastuksen ja toivon puolesta. Se kuvaa laivakohtaamisia, hyökkäyksiä, maihinnousuja, oikeudenkäyntejä ja saaristokokemuksia, ja kytkee nämä tapahtumat toisiinsa matkojen ja kohtaamisten sarjana. Teemat liittyvät merielämän ankaruuteen, ihmisten kestävyyteen ja välittävyyteen sekä erehdysten ja lainkäytön käytännön seuraamuksiin, ja rakenne rakentuu lyhyistä, seikkailullisista jaksoista.
