In 1915, the 'Noordster' sets sail on a voyage that would go down in history as the 'madman's cutter'. Among the crew is Arend Falkenier, a deeply religious man who begins receiving divine signs after the outbreak of World War I. He convinces the crew that they are the chosen ones and must set a course for Jerusalem. The claustrophobic atmosphere on the 25-meter ship and Arend's charisma lead the sailors into a bloody mutiny. Based on authentic records and psychiatric reports that were inaccessible for seventy years, Robert Haasnoot's novel masterfully captures the psychological descent of the crew during this ten-day ghost voyage.
