Set in the near future - during a time of plummeting fish stocks, toxic algae blooms and jellyfish swarms - The Good Captain follows a group of radical environmentalists committed to a mission of extreme civil disobedience against the powers threatening to destroy the last of the world's marine life.

Led by the wild Rena - born and raised by the ocean - the characterful crew engages in a high seas drama that contains all the thrill of a cat-and-mouse seafaring classic, while at the same time offering a timely warning for the political classes that their negligence will not go unpunished.

Evoking a disturbing vision of what the world that might soon become - random, dangerous, surprising and sometimes even miraculous - The Good Captain is a gripping, confronting and truly unique novel.

Industry Reviews

‘If you care about the ocean, about extinction, about deforestation you’ll find yourself immersed in this novel. With originality and wit, Sean Rabin asks “how far is too far?” when you’re fighting to save the planet.’
Jane Rawson author of The History of Dreams and From the Wreck
