Ship Breaker: Number 1 in series

Award-winning author Paolo Bacigalupi delivers a thrilling, fast-paced adventure set in a vivid and raw, uncertain future.

Nailer''s time is running out. He''s getting too big for his work - stripping copper wire from old oil tankers - and once he''s off the crew he''s on his own, stuck in a shack on the beach with no food, no money and no way of earning his keep.

He has one last chance. The thing all crew members dream about, a lucky strike, has hit in the shape of a clipper ship beached during the last hurricane. If he can hold off the rest of the scavengers long enough to get the oil out, he might just have a future.

But oil''s not the only thing on the ship. And what Nailer finds is going to change his life forever.
