Timewise, this installation encompasses just a few months, and the last couple of chapters encapsulate a matter of days. It begins in Indonesia, with the horribly damaged Leopard wafting, barely afloat, into the bay at Pulo Prabang, and ends off the coast of New England, in a horribly damaged Shannon with a terribly wounded captain and a hard-fought victory over the American forces. In between, Jack and Steven have been sunk, near-starved, captured, courted by spies, and chased to the point where Steven has had to draw blood in order to save himself and others. By the end, I feel quite as exhausted as Phillip Broke.
Onward.
