Paperback. "On Blue's Waters "is the start of a major new work by Gene Wolfe, the first of three volumes that comprise The Book of the Short Sun, which takes place in the years after Wolfe's four-volume Book of the Long Sun. Horn, the narrator of the earlier work, now tells his own story. Though life is hard on the newly settled planet of Blue, Horn and his family have made a decent life for themselves. But Horn is the only one who can locate the great leader Silk, and convince him to return to Blue and lead them all to prosperity. So Horn sets sail in a small boat, on a long and difficult quest across the planet Blue in search of the now legendary Patera Silk. 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. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
