Extreme slow burn with a plethora of side characters that add to the choas and confusion of the story. I enjoy how the author wrote this decent into madness, which ultimately evolves into.....survival. 

Set years after The Reckoning ship goes down and the tragedy of what the survivors go through, William Day is asked to go on another expedition to find a fellow sailor and his past bunkmate. Told in two timelines about the original trip on The Reckoning and the current.
