Deptford Histories, The: Thomas: No. 3 (The Deptford Histories)

'Thomas' begins four years after the fall of Jupiter, when Thomas Triton, a midshipmouse, is tormented by horrific visions of the past: stormlashed seas, ferocious battles, lost cities and terrifying heathen gods. But now the time has come to confront the most chilling memory of his youth, a dark and dreadful secret.
