Review: Endless Blue by Wen Spencer

The book is Endless Blue by Wen Spencer; published by Baen Books on May 26, 2009. The price is 7.99 US and 9.50 Canadian

Endless Blue is a unique story in science fiction. The story begins when a warp drive from a long lost ship warps in near Plymouth Station. The drive, covered in sea coral, is towing a fishing boat full of bodies that obviously were not prepared for vacuum.

Captain Mikhail Volkov, prince of the Novaya Rus Empire and clone of Peter the Great, is called to investigate. From the drives logs, it had misjumped, so it was the only ship or part of a ship that returned from such an event. Mikhail purposely misjumps his ship to find out where ships go when they disappear.

He finds an ocean world with floating islands, where humans and aliens travel by boat and live in the hulls of crashed spaceships. What he meets in this ocean world is closer to home than he expects, and what he does will have consequences back home. I enjoyed this book and encourage you to read Endless Blue by Wen Spencer.
