More about the book
The novella explores themes of power, perception, and racial dynamics through Captain Amasa Delano's encounter with the distressed ship San Dominick. As Delano investigates the ship, he is confronted with a complex social hierarchy where white sailors and enslaved black individuals interact under tense circumstances. The concealed figurehead with the inscription "Follow your leader" hints at deeper allegiances and the underlying tensions that challenge Delano's understanding of authority and freedom.
