This tale of Henry Hudson's ill-fated last voyage is told in four alternating voices, including one of the sons Hudson left behind and one he took with him. A crewmember and a young female spy in Holland round out the narrators. Each of the story's strands is adroitly spun, adding poignancy and intrigue to this imagined version of the famously mutinous expedition.
