Engineer Jake Holman arrives aboard the gunboat
U.S.S. San Pablo, assigned to patrol a tributary of
the Yangtze in the middle of exploited and revolution
-torn 1926 China. His iconoclasm and cynical nature
soon clash with the "rice-bowl" system which runs the
ship and the uneasy symbiosis between Chinese and
foreigner on the river. Hostility towards the gunboat's
presence reaches a climax when the boat must crash
through a river-boom and rescue missionaries upriver
at China Light Mission.

This one is a bit outside our
area of operation here but I
think it captures the feel of
our era of play.
