"First published in the U.K. by Scribner in 2016."
The Volunteer, a nineteenth-century Yorkshire whaling ship, becomes the stage for a confrontation between brutal harpooner Henry Drax and ex-army surgeon Patrick Sumner, the ship's medic, during a violent, ill-fated voyage to the Arctic.

Dark but interesting submitted by MHZ on June 13, 2020, 10:33am The characters were enough to keep me reading and I found the description of the whaling profession and landscape in the arctic at that time interesting.
