Dredged up out of the sea after a storm, 12 year old cabin boy Shipwreck only wants to begin his long journey home. Instead he encounters snarling mutineers, barefoot bandits, hairbreadth escapes, duels, secret identities, simmering revenge, betrayals, heroic last stands, cunning innkeepers and hidden treasure.
