About this book
*The Rescue* follows Tom Lingard, a sea captain whose loyalty to a Malay prince and his cause is tested when a stranded yacht of Europeans draws him into conflict. Readers interested in Conrad's maritime fiction and stories of divided loyalty in the colonial Malay Archipelago would find it worthwhile.
