The story continues in" In Green's Jungles "and "Return to the Whorl." In the first of three volumes that comprise The Book of the Short Sun, Horn tells his story of life on the newly settled planet Blue. Horn is the only one who can locate the great leader Silk, and sets sail in a small boat on his quest. This item is printed on demand.
