Second world, an archipelago of drowned volcanoes.

• Graphic violence: crush injury, drowning, an amputation at sea
• Animal death rendered with weight and without moralising commentary
• Deaths of crewmates; a faked death and an indentured labour scheme
• Desire between adults; sex cuts away at the door
• Grief; throat injury and permanent disability
• No slurs written out; company contempt appears as contract terms and hazard pay
