| | Dan Telfair's Review of In The Wet |
 | | In the course of his duties, Roger Hargreaves becomes involved with 'Pisspot Stevie', an aging, alcoholic/opium smoking, diseased, ex-pilot, ex-ringer, has-been, who is also no one's idea of a hero. |
 | | The story shifts as the Reverend Hargreaves sits the deathwatch with Stevie in a squalid cabin, in the wet - Stevie, whose mind is poisoned with disease and opium and Roger Hargreaves, whose fevered mind is deranged by a bout of malaria. |
 | | At this point there is an abrupt shift in the story as the scene is moved from Roger's deathwatch with Stevie, to a test flight somewhere in England, and sometime in the future. |
