The barometer is falling. Captain MacWhirr is holding his course.

Practical, unimaginative, and stubbornly devoted to duty, MacWhirr sees little reason to steer the steamship Nan-Shan away from a storm. But as a Pacific typhoon closes in, his routine voyage becomes a desperate fight for survival. Waves batter the decks, the crew struggle against the elements, and the Chinese laborers traveling home below face dangers of their own.

Against the sea’s overwhelming power, Joseph Conrad places an ordinary captain whose quiet resolve must answer an extraordinary crisis. The result is a tense maritime adventure and a searching portrait of leadership, responsibility, and courage under pressure.

Narrated by Jarvis Bailey, Typhoon carries listeners into the heart of one of classic literature’s most vivid storms. A gripping choice for fans of nautical adventure, psychological drama, and enduring tales of human resilience.
