The Furnace of the Sea

A former marine engineer, betrayed by his business partner and sold into servitude aboard a lawless factory trawler in international waters, must use his technical brilliance to orchestrate a rebellion among enslaved crew members before the ship reaches a shadow port where they will all vanish forever. Set against the backdrop of the Calcutt v. FDIC-era regulatory collapse, this Andy Weir-style thriller explores what happens when institutional justice fails and a man's thirst for vengeance becomes the only engine left burning.
