The Good Captain

- Blurb -

Set in the near future - during a time of plummeting fish stocks, toxic algae blooms and jellyfish swarms - The Good Captain follows a group of radical environmentalists committed to a mission of extreme civil disobedience against the powers threatening to destroy the last of the world' s marine life. Led by the wild Rena - born and raised by the ocean - the characterful crew engages in a high seas drama that contains all the thrill of a cat-and-mouse seafaring classic, while at the same time offering a timely warning for the political classes that their negligence will not go unpunished. Evoking a disturbing vision of what the world that might soon become - random, dangerous, surprising and sometimes even miraculous - The Good Captain is a gripping, confronting and truly unique novel. ' If you care about the ocean, about extinction, about deforestation you' ll find yourself immersed in this novel. With originality and wit, Sean Rabin asks "how far is too far? " when you' re fighting to save the planet. ' - Jane Rawson, author ofThe History of Dreams and From the Wreck
