A sugar hogshead descended within inches of your head before Jem's shout stopped Mike at the crane. I am not hurt, and arguing over the order will not make the next lift safer. You step into this one-chapter preview with Jem Wimble at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room.
