Having finally made it to Ceylon, Captain Qi and the motley crew of the Frozen Beauty picks up a simple job: carrying Dr Morbury, a botanist, and his cargo up the coast to Bombay. Nothing could be simpler.
But the trip turns into a nightmare as one by one the crew succumb to a strange disease. Until only the youngest member of the crew, Fanning, is left in their right mind.
"Dr Morbury's Cargo" is third in the Frozen Beauty stories: a TV series in book form.
