Ship Breaker is a science-fiction novel by Paolo Bacigalupi. Set after the polar icecaps have melted, it tells a story of a world where oil is rarer than gold, scavenging is a way of life, and a few rich people (or "swanks") have all the power.Nailer, our protagonist, is a light crew member, who makes his living scavenging ships and oil rigs, supporting his drug-addicted father, and dreaming of his "Lucky Strike". When he and his friend Pima find a shipwrecked clipper that no one else knows about, they think they've struck it rich. The situation is complicated though, by the presence of Nita, a swank girl who was the only survivor of the wreck. Nailer hopes to ransom the girl, but before he can put his plan in motion, his father, Richard Lopez, arrives with a crew of thugs who plan to take the ship—and Nita—for themselves. Nailer and Nita are forced to make a run for it, with Richard, and diverse others, in hot pursuit.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })See also The Drowned Cities, which takes place in the same world. | |

| Ship Breaker / int_4a0821b4 | comment |
Archnemesis Dad: Richard Lopez is a drug-addicted ex-pit fighter, who uses and abuses his son at every turn, long before he takes over as the main antagonist. He displays no empathy for anyone, and while Nailer repeatedly states that he used to be a better person, we're never really shown any hints of it; in the end, Nailer is forced to kill him. | |

Animal Motifs: Richard's is a dragon. Not only does he have dragon tattoos coiling up his arms, but Tool flat out compares him to a Komodo Dragon later in the story. | |
