Written by William McFee, a master of nautical literature, this novel follows the professional and personal journey of Mr. Spokesly, an officer in the merchant marine. Set against the backdrop of the Mediterranean during the turbulent years of the early twentieth century, the narrative delves into the technical realities of steamship operations and the psychological complexities of those who man them.The story focuses on Spokesly's transformation as he grapples with his ambitions, his romantic entanglements, and the ethical dilemmas inherent in his climb toward a position of authority.
