The Unfinished Land
Greg Bear
Reynard, a young apprentice, seeks release from the drudgery of working for his fisherman
uncle in the English village of Southwold. His rare days off lead him
to strange encounters--not just with press gangs hoping to fill English
ships to fight the coming Spanish Armada, but strangers who seem to know
him--one of whom casts a white shadow.
The village's ships are
commandeered, and after a fierce battle at sea, Reynard finds himself
the sole survivor of his uncle's devastated hoy. For days he drifts,
starving and dying of thirst until a galleon rescues him, also
lost--and a strange current propels both to the unknown
northern island of Thule. Here Reynard must meet his destiny in a
violent clash between humans and gods.
