DSTLRY brings high tensions to fans with High Sea with Endeavor #1, a new survival thriller series by author Stephanie Phillips, artist Mark Rumming, colorist Leela Fridge and letter Tom Napolitano. Endeavor is a character-driven action thriller and a survival story that combines my two worst horrors. I ride on the sea and on the boat.

Along with the historic recreation of 18th century schooners, Endeavor witnesses a group of children from elite families invited on a luxurious recreational cruise with modern amenities. When unexpected chaos erupts, seven children are left behind on the boat and drifted into the sea. As supply decreases and children fight the elements, as factions (and double crosses) develop, a fierce struggle for survival emerges. The epic epic of Philips and Laming’s maritime affairs snatches the primitive fear and social norm of expletives, providing fans with a fierce, character-driven story. In an environment where fear and betrayal are governed, each child must decide who or whether they can trust.

Endeavor is about seven children left behind in the historic recreation of 18th century sailing ships. When children fight for survival against both the sea and each other, it meets the fly lord and yellow jacket. This character-driven action thriller exploits the main fear of the rapid collapse of social norms in the face of fear and crisis.

“Endeavor blends the classic suspense of Survivalist classics with meditation on modern social and cultural norms,” Phillips said. “Mark and I really enjoy building this world full of dangerous alliances and suspense.”
“Endeavor charts new highs for Stephanie Phillips’ already impressive work,” says CCO Chip Mosher, co-founder of DSTLRY. “It’s an unforgettable journey with visceral thrills and literary executions,” continued David Steinberger, co-founder and CEO of DSTLRY. “What really belongs to the DSTLRY library is a kind of ambitious and broad screen story.”

“The original HMS efforts in 1768 did not go well, and this result was not so optimistic! I was on the pin and needle waiting for Stephanie’s next script, to equally stress and satisfy this vision.
“This book is not for the faint-hearted people, as our readers see!” explains editor Will Dennis. “On the surface, it’s a thriller with twin pages, but the real depth comes from seeing how quickly civilised veneers shatter.”
