The author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull returns to writing animal fables with his new series. This second volume follows the brave souls of the Ferret Rescue Service as they endeavor to save the mice and cats often left behind by human crews of sinking ships. For Capt. Bethany Ferret and the crew of the HMS Dauntless, it's a story about devotion to an ideal, perseverance through adversity, and the satisfaction of a job well done.
