Rodney finds himself stranded on an iceberg in the Southern Ocean. Crashed out with no victuals or shelter. How does he survive? How can the story proceed? How does Rodney get back home? How does he smuggle the great pirate treasure into his English financial system? Are the Eighteen-Hundreds even real? Did they make all of our history up like this excellent story of a man stranded on an iceberg.
Some of my highlights.
