The first book of the Chicken of the Sea trilogy concludes with Victor Joshua Walker's family safely reunited in the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia. Two weeks later, the sun is a fireball on the horizon when Victor's grandmother sees a ship steaming towards them. A near collision leaves the Spray without an engine and drenched from bow to stern. They divert to Tahiti to make repairs, only to discover Victor is still in great danger. His father relocates to nearby Moorea, rebuilding the Spray's engine while the rest of the family stays at a luxurious tropical resort hotel. What should have been very enjoyable, turns tragic. With a $100,000 reward on Victor's head, each new port is a step closer to disaster. Despite murderous Russians and Filipino pirates, the Walker family, like the truth, remains just out of reach. Despite losing almost everything, Victor is never closer to his father than when they arrive in Australia. A breathtaking conclusion leaves Victor more confident, wiser, and with a family he never expected. With the mystery seemingly revealed, except for one question, and Zagarovsky now taking a personal interest in Victor's demise, the family continues the journey into the final book, Free Range Chicken.
