He escapes Istanbul with her and struggles after her across the Turkish countryside, trying desperately to fulfil his clearly very foolish commitment.ĭelilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant combines the pre-existing stories of The Treasure of Constantinople (as Chapter One) and The Aqueduct, my story for Flight Volume Five (as Chapter Two). The adventurer-Delilah Dirk herself-saves Selim from his fate, leaving Selim burdened with the notion that he now owes a life-debt to this loud, vibrant woman. When a strange female adventurer is captured within the grounds of the royal palace, Selim’s accommodating treatment of her displeases his superior, who orders his execution. Erdemoglu Selim is a quiet, unassuming member of the Turkish Janissary Army, working for a superior officer who demands more cruelty than he can deliver.
