"Twilight for the Gods" by Ernest K. Gann published by William Sloane Associates, First BC edition (1956) with "Book Club Edition" imprinted on the front flap of the dust jacket. The novel is about the last of the 19th-century sailing ships and her crew as they try to make a troubled final voyage across the Pacific.

Original dust jacket [a little edge wear and creases: see photos]; faux leather hard boards; 5.1/2” x 8.1/2”; 212 pages on cream-color paper, very good condition.

This is the story of the barquentine, Cannibal, and the passengers and crew on her most tempestuous voyage. The date was October 12, 1927. The Cannibal, a forlorn figure as she left the South Seas port of Suva, was one of the last commercial sailing ships still trying valiantly to compete in the world of steam. Manned by a small crew, with a handful of passengers and a load of copra, she set her course firmly toward Mexico...

"I am a sailor and yachtsman. I love this book. It is authentic down to the spray in your face and the creaking of blocks aloft. Ernest Gann really batted it out of the park with this book. I have read my copy several times. It is a truly authentic sailing ship story. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves sailing, adventure, and the sea." [private review]
