Audiobook
Book • 1986
Set in the early 3800s on the oceanic planet Thalassa, the novel follows the arrival of the Magellan, the last refugee ship from a doomed Earth, at a peaceful colony established centuries earlier.

The story explores the cultural and emotional impact of Earth's destruction on both sets of colonists and how humans from two different worlds and societies interact with each other, weaving themes of love, loss, and the quest for meaning in the vastness of space.
