From audible.com:
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
.
"By any standard, Wolfe's beautifully composed, meditative, thrilling, and tricky-beyond-belief 'science fantasy' is a work of the highest art." (
The Washington Post Book World
)

"BRILLIANT... TERRIFIC... A
FANTASY SO EPIC IT BEGGARS THE MIND!"
-
Philadelphia Inquirer
Banished for the sin of mercy, Severian, one of the ancient guild of Torturers, flees from exile. In a mountain wilderness he meets the Alzabo, in whom those eaten seem to live on, adopts a son only to lose him in battle, discharges an old debt of vengeance, encounters fanged aliens who hide behind masks of beauty, and helps the people of the floating islands in their unending battle for freedom.
Now, alone again, Severian wanders in search of his destiny, guided by the glowing power of a hidden, awesome weapon.
"THE BEST BOOK I'VE READ ALL YEAR...
images of wonder and weirdness linger long in the memory... a shattering tour-de-force."
