I found this short story and its narration very well done. the encounter between the secret sharer and the unexperienced captain serves as a catalyst for the captain's personal growth. he confronts ideas of right and wrong and the complexity of the world, resulting in a great increase in personal confidence. the narrator gives a slight reminiscence of William Shatner or rod serling, giving the tale sort of a twilight zone or star trek feel of strange discovery - very suitable for this particular and pecular tale.

I didn't really get this story. A guy escaping from a crime is hidden by a new captain on a ship. The captain helps him escape, but it all happens so fast, and was left feeling like "Huh? What just happened?" I really didn't get the point of the story. Gregg is a good reader; his recording quality is always top-notch, but the story was really lacking.
Good story

Conrad's works are good, and this story was intriguing to listen to, specifically to find out the end.
