Delilah by Marcus Goodrich, Paperback

Very good. Minor wear to edges of covers. No markings. Tight binding.

Delilah is an old four-piper destroyer whose regular beat is one of the world’s most exotic—and dangerous—bodies of water: the Sulu Sea. Set at the beginning of the twentieth century just before the Great War, the ship patrols the violent racial and religious tensions that threaten to break America’s tenuous grasp on the Philippines and on its identity as colonial power. In a series of exquisitely drawn stories, Marcus Goodrich reveals tantalizing glimpses of the heart of each sailor as the crew puts down Philippine insurrections, searches for a gunrunner’s cave told of only in island folklore, and delivers medicine to western missionaries.
