Fearing for the safety of their friends and families back home and unable to contact them, or anyone in authority; tensions rise. Soon, a struggle develops aboard the Starshine for control of the ship; a struggle that pits a faction led by the Captain against a similarly sized faction led by the Second Officer. Which group is in the right? What is the truth? And who should ultimately command the M/V Starshine? It's a question that will be settled; but who's blood will be spilled along the way? Join the Crew of the Starshine for the ride of a lifetime as hope springs from disaster and alliances form in a desparate attempt to survive in a world on the brink of a Third World War
