Il capitano Fausto, protagonista dell'audiolibro, l'ufficiale che per un incidente di pace e non di guerra ha perso la vista e una mano, è un Achab senza Balena Bianca, prigioniero di un mondo nero, un Ulisse senza Iliade, al quale resta la possibilità di una piccola Odissea (una settimana, cinque più due come si dice nel gergo delle caserme), tra Genova e Roma, con tappa conclusiva Napoli dove lo attende (proprio a Napoli, la città del sole) un appuntamento con la morte.
