Publisher's summary[edit | edit source]

Mortis Dock: the last manned shipyard in the cosmos...

Population: six thousand and two...

And now, not a soul in sight... at least, until Bernice, Peter and Jack are drawn off-course.

Where have all the workers disappeared to? Why is Jack behaving oddly? And what is the secret of the HMS Surprise?

Only a stranger in a lighthouse holds the key... but can he be trusted?
