Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling and atmospheric tale of sailors, sailing, and the sea. Set upon the vast and unforgiving Pacific Ocean, the author captures both the beauty and brutality of life at sea, and explores the dark side of human nature. The book begins in a languid pace, as days melt into weeks, sailors while away their time gambling and telling stories amongst themselves. Then, a single, sick passenger boards their ship, and everything changes. The passenger dies, a mysterious plague spreads, and the once lighthearted crew are plunged into chaos as they are stalked by a sinister force that leaves its victims blind. As the novel progresses, the author deftly explores the nature of fear, prejudice, and the disintegration of a society in the face of encroaching darkness. At the same time, the book also explores the beauty and resilience of the human spirit and the extraordinary capacity for compassion, sacrifice, and heroism that survives even in the face of catastrophe.
