Please try again later. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. Its plot has been well structured, with an exciting prologue and an adventure-genre suitable ending. Frost uses appropriate descriptive detail and tension-creating foreshadowing to keep readers interested from chapter to chapter.

Protagonist, Toby Robinson, becomes involved with high-seas espionage after he applies for a job as a deckhand on a Russian oligarch's luxury yacht. Through the use of internal dialogue, colloquial language and humor, Frost has created a likeable and everyday-casual anti-hero, who deals with all sorts of calamities with wit, charm and admirable gumption.

However, there are no major loose ends or details that Frost does not return to. This novel is visual and exciting and I would like to see it transferred to the Big Screen, preferably by a British director, or one sensitive to the charm-value of irony, used so well in British literature and film. Does Toby save the day and the world from disaster??

Does he win the beautiful girl?? It will be time well spent. Young man Toby joins a Russian yacht in the Caribbean as a deckhand.

Trying to make some easy fun money. Toby is what Murphy's Law is all about. What can go wrong will go wrong.

See a Problem?

A page turner of finding out what will happen next. Through out all of Toby's ordeal's he is able to keep his humor with the description's he gives nickname's to each yacht crew member. That to me added alot to the story. This cruise certainly is not what Toby ever thought it would be, nor did I, in fact, just the opposite of our expectation's. I really enjoyed Toby through out the entire story. Timothy Frost writes with alot of twist's, turns, and lots of action and keep's a reader flipping the page's to see what Toby will come up against next and wonder if Toby will ever see his parent's again.

Frost also added true fact's about what happened to a Russian spy a few years ago that I remembere seeing on all the news networks for day's. Thank's for a great read. I look forward to reading more books from you. Frost, you are a keeper!! The set-up brings us a 22 year old playboy type, who has avoided adulthood, except when it suits him. His parents have had enough, and are pushing him to find a real career, and a purpose in life, so he decides crewing on a luxury yacht will pay well, and still allow him the lifestyle he would like to become accustomed to.

After all, he had taken a six week maritime course, and his experience as an occasional bartender would serve him well, so he should be all set - right? His instructor had warned him that it wasn't going to be play-time on the yacht, and that he would be there to work. But Toby is confident this is just the kind of job he wants.

His on-board interview starts to open his eyes that this will not be what he expected at all. But even with all the warnings and tales of the owner's volatile temper, Toby decides to stay. At this point, I was sure this was going to be a book about an annoying poor little rich boy, who didn't have the sense to run from obvious danger.

Although we never really get the details of the affair, we know that Elizabeth and John were having troubles in their marriage. John succumbs to his desires albeit momentarily.

When he realizes what he's done and tells Abigail the affair is over, she is scorned, jealous and hateful. She has to find a way to get back at him. How does she do this? Perhaps in an attempt to hide the truth, the girls continue this thinking. Eventually, women throughout the town are accused of being witches. John's wife is among them.

Proctor's affair with Abigail is an important plot device. Ordinarily for the Puritans, adultery was a serious offense. It was considered to be not only a sin but as a criminal act, for which the accused could be whipped or otherwise publicly humiliated or even executed.

See the article at the Washington Post link below. And they completely ignore the fact that the person who has so falsely accused him is the partner in his adultery. By putting the two crimes in comparison, Anderson is emphasizing how rabid and arbitrary the witch hunts had become.
