Back cover states: 'One carbuncle patient too many was the straw that broke Sister Isobel Boden's back, so she quit the hospital and went to work for a luxury shipping line. What happened to her at sea is a stormy riot of romantic fun . . . especially when dark and handsome Paul Fletcher, gem theif [sic] extraordinary [sic], entered her life, and made Isobel an unwilling partner in his shady shenanigans. If you like to laugh - "EMERGENCY CRUISE" - is for you. Come on a cruise to the Tahitian Archipelago, the Fiji Isles, and New Zealand, with our crazy cast of characters.'
