Gene Wolfe's On Blue's Waters is the first volume of The Book of the Short Sun, a new work by the acclaimed author. Set in the years following the events of his previous series, The Book of the Long Sun, this novel tells the story of Horn, the narrator of the earlier work, as he sets out on a perilous quest to locate the legendary leader Patera Silk.

Life on the newly settled planet of Blue is harsh, but Horn and his family have managed to build a decent life for themselves. However, Horn is the only one who can find Silk and convince him to return to Blue, leading the planet to prosperity. With the fate of Blue hanging in the balance, Horn embarks on a long and difficult journey across the planet in search of the elusive Patera Silk.

With its unique blend of action, adventure, and philosophical introspection, this novel is sure to appeal to readers who enjoy thought-provoking and engaging stories.
