Sgt. Kirk #6

In November 1913, amid the sweltering South Seas where the shadow of the Great War looms and old romantic ideals still burn, a storm of secrets and survival unfolds. With the lush, modern pacing of Pratt’s storytelling and a vivid sense of place, *Una ballata del mare salato* follows Corto Maltese as he navigates treacherous alliances and hidden dangers, drawn into a web spun by the enigmatic Monk, the ruthless Rasputin, and a cast of islanders and sailors whose fates are bound by the sea.
