"The sea is big. The sea is cruel. She takes more than she gives. That’s how it’s always been."
Fuel is the lifeblood of the fleet and it is running out. It has been months since the crew of Miss Amy brought home a catch big enough to feed the fleet. With fuel rationed, there is little hope for fresh fish. Gill works frantically to develop a renewable source of bio-diesel. Croaker is the only mariner able to keep Gallant's engines running. Snapper is the last hope of an aging navigator. While the ships rust around him, Grouper begins the final phase of his destructive plan.
Everything is about to change.
Fleet is a decidedly salty vision of the near future, where an unknown plague has left land uninhabitable and sea level rise has created vast new oceans to explore. The last survivors of the human race are scattered across new and dangerous seas. The only traces of a previous world are lost among the flotsam.
Fleet is an adventure in serial self-publishing. Part 2: Wide Open encompasses chapters four through six in the saga. New parts will be released the first Monday of every month through the end of 2013.
