by Robert Barr

Rupert Tremorne, a man who has tasted both fortune and misfortune, finds himself stranded in Nagasaki, burdened by debt and a bleak future. His only hope lies in accepting the position of private secretary to the wealthy Mr. Hemster, who offers him a chance to sail around Asia on his luxurious yacht. This voyage becomes an unexpected adventure for Tremorne, as he finds himself surrounded by intriguing companions, including the beautiful Miss Gertrude Hemster and her friend Hilda Stretton. As he navigates the complexities of his new role and the burgeoning feelings that arise, Tremorne faces challenges and unravels secrets, making this journey far more than just a voyage around Asia.
