About This Novel
During the Second World War, a junior officer named Christopher Hadley Martin on the British naval escort fleet was hit by a torpedo and washed up on a rock in the ocean by the waves. He fought desperately for survival alone in the harsh environment and eventually died. However, it is not until the end of the story that the author reveals to the readers in an unexpected way: Martin's torture on the rocks is actually just the suffering of a sinful soul in purgatory. The author wants to use this to warn mankind that if you persist in your own greed and sin, you will eventually fall into hell and never recover; and only by destroying the human nature of greed can your soul be expected to undergo the baptism of purgatory and be finally saved.
