Jellyfisherman Dhiraj Om is struggling to make ends meet, so when a highly valuable pleasure robot called Naomi ends up adrift in his nightly North Sea catch, an opportunity to make some quick money presents itself. Trouble is, she's highly illegal, and her owner, underworld kingpin Agarkka D'Souza, doesn't take kindly to his things being stolen. What's more, he will do anything to get her back. Man O'War is a taut science fiction thriller set in a London where cutting-edge companies vie for market space with cut-throat black market operations, and around the Nigerian city of Port Harcourt, a wild frontier land on the Niger Delta where one of the world s most powerful oil conglomerates is apparently under threat from dissident rebels.
