Very entertaining read, probably pretty easy to finish in one sitting under normal circumstances. It is about a new ship captain that is a &ldquo;stranger to the ship and its crew&rdquo; but makes an unexpected connection with a stowaway that he must hide from the rest of the ship&rsquo;s crew. As with the heart of darkness, Conrad is able to produce a tense, and mysterious atmosphere that makes you feel present in the action, while keeping things dark and primal feeling. Very fun quick read.</p>
