He snuck aboard to escape Japan. He didn't expect a pirate ship crewed entirely by women.
Szcynkowsky only wanted to get out of the country unnoticed. Instead, he finds himself facing a captain with a short temper, a crew of tattooed pirates, and a ship that's barely holding together. His offer to serve as chief engineer saves his skin - and lands him in the middle of a desperate voyage across the Pacific.
But the real danger lies ahead. To cross the Andes, the Christina must fly higher than she was ever designed to go. And waiting on the other side is Black Morgan, a pirate who doesn't just want their cargo - he wants them dead.
From the Cloud Castle to the milongas of Buenos Aires, this is the story of how Szcynkowsky lost one ship, saved another, and found a new life where he least expected it.
