The perils of the colonial Caribbean depicted in Scott's fiction--including slavers and pirates--came from the author's experience. Michael Scott's first book, Tom Cringle's Log , was a series of sketches, but this second naval adventure is a tense novel-length saga. Critics have compared Scott's writings to Marryat, Cooper, and even Dickens.
