An engrossing adventure story of a Romanian stowaway on the "Maersk Dubai", and the Filipino crewman who hides him and protects him from the ship's officers. The book is based on what really happened in 1996; however, though it is mostly fact, there is some fictionalization of characters. I found it a most interesting and compelling novel, with some very heart wrenching moments . . .
