It is 1961. In a time of great upheaval in the US and the world, a pair of teens in California are being forced to attend a summer school. This unique school has boys do college prep while they learn about boating, sailing a yacht from California to Baja California, then to Hawaii, then back. Our two protagonists are an obscenely wealthy JD and a quiet theater kid with something to hide. As they develop a tenuous friendship, they start to realize the two professors running this school have a cruel streak, and it's going to take their friendship and their skills to survive...

If you want to read along when it pops up, luckily The Kraken by Alfred, Lord Tennyson is in the public domain and is freely available online.

Having picked up the writers, the crew has to head back to Nagalisitu. However, before they can leave Roscoe and Kai are confronted with a lead on the pirate they hate. And, even when they make it back, how has Nagalisitu changed since they've been gone...?

Greg - Kyrt Howling-Echo - A gengineered half-human half-Murnau, he is the former Genepal League champion. Kyrt has "retired" into aiding the Library of Alexandria as a patron. Never without his beloved Genepal Pep Pup, or his second best friend Sol-Edge.

After some investigating, it turns out Reggie needs rescued... again...
