Description:
Written by a master storyteller, this story takes place aboard a millionaires' cruise ship and is indeed adventure on the high seas. Although most of the 300 passengers aboard the Alcestis have one thing in common- a desire for fun in the sun and lots of money, the exception is Carl Wenstron and his "family group". Each is adept in their own way of extracting as much money as possible from their fellow passengers.
