Well written action romance tale. Young girl unwillingly promises her uncle to marry a doddering but wealthy old man, to save uncle's failing shipbuilding company, and subsequently stows away on one of his ships to escape the impending marriage. This book just never lets up. Our intrepid heroine races from adventure to crisis to adventure to crisis. Well researched. Author clearly knew a lot about shipping and South American politics of the time? I don't want to give anything away, since I hate reviewers who do that, but you will feel the salt spray on your skin, and the fear in your belly. Very descriptively and detailedly written. Written in the early 1900's, the language is a bit breathtakingly florid, but our heroine turns out to be a real heroine, given more to courage, fighting, and honor than swooning spells. Kind of a bodice ripper of the era, only no bodices get ripped, of course, and everyone is vey circumspect. Collateral characters are well fleshed out, gotta especially love the rascally Captain Coke, and the suave but focused Dom. ( Amazon customer)
