Set against the Blair/Brown years, the Poseidon's crew have an unexpected encounter with an asylum seeker in Tunis which profoundly affects all their futures. Eight Englishmen on sojourn, voyage around the Med on Poseidon, a fast schooner. Set against the impact of the Blair/Brown years, the crew find solace and experience seminal life in North African ports. Tunis brings an unexpected encounter with Saleh, an Ethiopian asylum seeker and Colonel Nassar, Chief of Police. It sharpens the focus of what's happening back in Blighty. Off Sicily, Poseidon witnesses an asylum seeker sea rescue by the coast guard. Some have drowned. Poseidon's crew wonder if Saleh is on board or whether he is shaking hands with Neptune. They also ponder if they are also crossing over to the dark side with Priest's dystopia vision just around the corner.
