World 02
No Mercy, Just Iron
Ships, ports, trade, forced labour and law shape the seventeenth-century Caribbean. Colonial rule, merchant money and maritime violence decide who can move, who can own, who can leave and who gets called lawful. Taigar is a builder and gunner. Mercy moves through the world of law and commerce. Ying and Kasim travel in the same waters. St Clair is the ship’s surgeon, attentive to bodies, records and patterns.
