A city plagued with unscrupulous politicians and greedy developers, Port Caper survives as a waterfront paradise only because it contains a large concentration of combat-experienced veterans. Although these veterans are likewise plagued with nightmares, flashbacks, and anxieties common to soldiers returning from war, most dedicate their lives to building a better Port Caper. Mark Berry, the protagonist of The Harbormaster, attempts to contain his PTSD problems even as he leads his force of veterans to save Port Caper from the violent conflict erupting in the city. As a helicopter pilot in Vietnam, Berry's rescue missions gave him a broad mix of combat violence and heart-warming encounters that he carries into his civilian life. Still, while fighting battles on all sides, he helps his patrol overcome their own demons. This exciting saga illustrates the strength and vulnerabilities of war-torn men and women.
