Synopsis

A storm leaves young lovers Dorothy Howard and Jack Northrop at the mercy of the ocean. Rescued by a mysterious ship, the "Isigone", Jack and Dorothy are thrown into a bizarre world of luxury and splendor, a ship that seems both ancient and futuristic, and a captain who appears to be an enigmatic figure of noble birth. This book delves into the themes of love, loss, and the enduring human spirit in the face of the unknown. As they spend more time aboard the "Isigone", the couple begin to unravel the secrets of the ship and its enigmatic captain, and their own feelings for each other deepen. The story explores the boundaries of reality and imagination, weaving a tale of mystery and wonder that lingers long after the final page.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

TlHE light breeze out of the southwest had died away altogether as the sun came down towards the edge of the sea and the broad sails of the Fleur de Lys flapped lazily as she rose slowly and sank again on the long oily swell. The pennant of the Baltimore Yacht Club at the peak curled a little now and then in an aimless sort of way as the masts swayed ever so slightly, but otherwise there was no sign of even a breath of air. It was still and it was also hot. The dead air stagnated over the dead sea and the red sun seemed to send reverberations of dead heat out across its path of beaten and glowing copper that seemed riveted on the slow curves of the sea. A long youth slouching in a low wicker deckchair, feebly clicked the ice in a tall glass and whined peevishly: Jack, Jack! I say, you know, I really cant stand this sort of thing indefinitely. Jack Northrop tamped his pipe with a brown finger and chuckled grimly, Oh, yes you can, my son, because you have to: and the worst is yet to come. He glanced along the sea with a shrewd eye.
