Comments & Further Information

A first UK edition paperback in very good condition for its age.  The pages are heavily tanned making them very brown but still eminently readable.  The covers are showing some slight signs of wear to extremities with some shelf wear to bottom edges of covers.

SYNOPSIS:  “A young planet, a sea planet, its sparse island land-masses menaced by volcanic action and threatened by titanic tides.  Its inhabitants, pilgrims from an Earth so long ago and far away as to be mere legend, have learned to communicate telepathically, Man and Whale.  But the true secrets of the deep the great sea creatures guard with aloof efficiency.

Keiris, half Adenyo, telepathically ungifted, sets out on a Quest – to find his long-lost father and the twin sister he has never met, to meet and grasp his destiny.  And on his strange odyssey he stumbles on myths reborn, echoes of a haunted past that sing of an epic future.  To him are revealed the central mysteries of an ocean world,  And with that revelation comes manhood.”
