Review: Arnie is one of my favorite Sentinel writers, with her wonderful gen bonding fics. This is one of her most unusual fics, fusing the Sentinel with Pirates of the Caribbean. The Characterization is wonderful as always with Arnie.
Jack is a hard character to write well, since he pretty much steamrolls over all of the other characters, but Arnie manages to keep him sympathetic, even while he's in the process of kidnapping James. Blair doesn't want to become a Guide but his relationship with Jim is kept from being uncomfortable or squicky, and all of the supporting characters are right on the mark.
The story is probably best understood if you have at least a passing familiarity with the Sentinel and Pirates of the Caribbean fandoms, but it is well written enough that you should be able to follow the story with a little bit of work, particularly if your used to reading alternate history stories.
