When Humphrey Van Weyden finds himself struggling in the freezing waters of
San Francisco Bay, he thinks the worst that can happen to him is drowning.
After he is rescued by the Ghost and its captain, Wolf Larson, Humphrey
discovers that there are fates far worse than death.

On Larsen's hell-ship, the dilettante hero is forced to slave as cabin boy
and humble seaman. Over the seven months' voyage to the sealing grounds off
Siberia, he engages in an epic duel with his ruthlessly Nietzschean skipper,
a conflict that must end with the death of one of them.
