Soon, a struggle develops aboard the Starshine for control of the ship; a struggle that pits a faction led by the Captain against a similarly sized faction led by the Second Officer. Which group is in the right? What is the truth? And who should ultimately command the M/V Starshine? It's a question that will be settled; but who's blood will be spilled along the way?
