The year is 1957 and seventeen-year-old Brendan Harris is starting a career in the British Merchant Navy. When Brendan returns home to take his final officer's examination, disaster strikes. After a road accident, he is hospitalised and left in a deep coma. His diary, kept over the years at sea, becomes a must-read for his nurses. For in it, Brendan describes his escapades-from Cape Town to Philadelphia, from the extreme heat of the Persian Gulf to the ice-laden skies of the far north...the time when his ship ran aground off the West African coast, and another occasion in the East Indies when it was nearly bombed. As a young man, Brendan also learns about the opposite sex and the delights and disappointments of growing up. Does his girl wait for him to return home and will he ever wake from his coma?
