From the clash of mighty battleships at Jutland in 1916 to the cold splendor of the present-day Arctic, The Darkening Sea is a modern seafaring epic that traces the fortunes of the Martin family throughout nearly seventy years of British maritime history. James and John Martin see varied action from service on battle-cruisers in the North Sea during the Great War to cargo-passenger ships on the exploited coast of 1930s China; from the war of corvette vs. U-boats in the North Atlantic to the long slog of Pacific Fleet protection in a WWII destroyer. Along the way, they find love, disillusion, and fulfillment. The women in their lives—sisters, wives, and lovers—also have their own ambitions in an ever-changing world.

Soon after taking part in the dramatic capture of Martinique in the Caribbean, Vice-Admiral Sir Richard Bolitho is next despatched to the African coast to gather a flotilla and stop French attacks on British trade routes. But Bolitho must contend with more than Britain's old enemy—he must also face the hatred of his flag captain and betrayal by a man he once counted on as his friend.

Hector Martin, nearing sixty, has been recently abandoned by a much younger and wildly troubled woman who has left him with a young son. A solitary man whose interests had been whale gazing, Dvorak, and self-study, finds himself, a reluctant father, nearly paralyzed by this unexpected event.We come to our story with the tenderness of a father's "I love you" or a sad, neglected child's first troubling questions. His sister, with dutiful affection, assumes the role of surrogate mother, while her brother, sitting before an empty grave, 'celebrates' the 'death' of his wife, the source of his final betrayal. We learn that while most flee grief, others seek to transform it. We learn, too, that redemption often comes in unimaginable ways. For everyone has a story, and sometimes they overlap and collide.

Stepping off the deck of his three-masted schooner, the Fisherman, at the end of an unparalleled fishing cruise, Zane Grey set down the record, without an instant's delay, of these adventurous weeks. The result is this book, a narrative of adventure and deep-sea fishing, unique even in the career of this great sportsman. Cruising in the dangerous, little-known sections of the Pacific around the Galapagos Islands, the party, putting out from the Fisherman in small boats, threw their lines into the waters often alive with man-eating sharks. At other times, under less strenuous conditions, Zane Grey devoted his time to careful observation, and the recording, cataloguing and photographing of strange and little-known game fish. Here, certainly, is a book that ever good sportsman will wish to own -- a chronicle of adventure and danger, and sport for sport's sake.
