(2) 4-6 In this third book (The Convicts, The Cannibals), Tom earns his sea legs. The story opens with a storm at sea; slavery, betrayal, and murder further tantalize readers. The final twist, a deeply moral one, concerns how Tom is freed from the tortuous path that threatens to consume him. Lawrence's story includes colorful characters and rich language laced with inventive similes.
