Publisher's Synopsis
When Markham's rescued from sea, he finds himself aboard a bizarre cruise ship populated by gang lords, sentient crocodiles, and, yeah, maybe a human or two. He can't remember life before. But life now sure seems scary.
Nina tells him only the Captain can make things right. But the Captain's gone missing-and Markham? Some believe he had something to do with it.
To clear his name and avoid trial-by-crocodile, Markham agrees to help Nina locate the missing legend at the helm . . . and the fact that Nina makes Markham's blood jump around like waves under the deck may have added to that decision.
But soon the most vicious gang lord threatens to corrupt everything on the vessel, from its dizzying neon casinos to its boiler-room volcano. As shadow and panic overtake the ship, Markham must find the Captain-or something in himself-to stop it before the cruise becomes a nightmare. He starts to wonder not only if this godlike Captain can save them-but if he was ever really there to begin with.
