Publisher Summary
 

Andrew Kinnear has dreamt of becoming a ship's engineer and traveling the world. But as his apprenticeship at Dalrossan Dockyard begins, he quickly realizes there is much more to his dream that he's bargained for. There are unwritten rules in his new workplace that he will break at his peril, a fearsome pecking order, and strange rites of initiation.

Who are his allies, and who are his enemies? In sorting this out, Andrew can only watch in horror as the situation gets worse, much worse. From the author of See How They Run comes a tense and gripping novel that challenges the authority of traditions and what it takes to be a man.

Review by Bev from Melbourne, Australia | 3/14/2011

The humiliation and bullying to which a first year apprentice in the dockyards is subjected in the course of his ‘initiation’ into the work group are the focus of this story.
