A Tropical Frontier: The Gladesman

The Third novel in the "Tropical Frontier" series, The Gladesman is, in addition, the Second novel in the "Port Starboard" sub-series.

From the darkest depths of the Everglades comes the Gladesman, and the tiny hamlet of Port Starboard will never be the same.

The Gladesman, a disgusting, vile swamp dweller comes to Port Starboard - a tiny settlement on the northwest shore of 1880's Lake Worth - and everything goes downhill from there. Because of him, however, the residents discover that Maggie Hooker, a black woman and the town's shopkeeper/postmistress, is the glue that holds the community together.
