In the Dangerous Archipelago north of Tahiti, Henry Ka'imiloa Keenan is forced to beach his old schooner for repairs. The turmoil of World War seems far away until Keenan meets a fugitive from German New Guinea. Can Matildhe Kolbe be sure Keenan will not give her up to the French authorities? Would Captain Johanssen give him the chance? A vortex of jealousy and suspicion, Song of the Mokihana is also a lyrical tale of lovers from multi-racial backgrounds, and the conflicting allegiances neither is prepared to abandon. Against a panorama of grand trade wind seascapes, Keenan and Matildhe find occult and mystical influences are not completely displaced by the strategic imperatives of the new century. Includes contemporary illustrations and appendix.
