Did he succeed because he was infected by the Spatterjay virus, or because he came late to resurrection in a tank of seawater? Tracing the man's last-known seaborne journey, Taylor Bloc wants to know the truth. He also wants so much else - adulation, power, control - and will go to any lengths to achieve them. An ancient hive mind, almost incomprehensible to the human race, has sent an agent to this uncertain world. Does it simply want to obtain the poison 'sprine' that is crucial to immortality - and, if so, maybe Janer must find it and stop it. Meanwhile, still faced with the ennui of immortality, Erlin has her solitude rudely interrupted by a very angry whelkus titanicus, and begins the strangest of journeys. Deep in the ocean the Spatterjay virus has wrought a terrible change that will affect them all. Something dormant for ten years is breaking free, and once again the aftershocks of an ancient war will focus on this watery world. And Sniper, for ten years the Warden of Spatterjay, finally takes delivery of his new drone shell. It's much better than his old one: powerful engines, more lethal weapons, thicker armour. He's going to need them. 2175642 6 10 2006 The Voyage of the Sable Keech total:97|5:24|4:47|3:20|2:5|1:1| 97 379 135 11 3 0 false false Tue May 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 08:38:39 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 01:57:48 -0700 2009

This book is the sequel to The Skinner, which I really enjoyed. And it has all the same cool stuff as the first book -- sailing ships, a virus that renders people practically immortal, a planet full of lethal wildlife, reanimated dead people, and s...more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Apr 28 02:11:27 -0700 2008 Wed Nov 26 07:21:45 -0800 2008 2 The Skinner, a good book in my opinion.

In this case the sequel does not live up to the first book in the series. First of all it is highly derivative, and second, it does not really add much to any of the characters you grew fond of in...more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Oct 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 14:17:22 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 12:50:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Aug 20 10:36:15 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 10:39:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Aug 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 05:57:43 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 03:59:32 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Fri Oct 02 00:21:14 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 00:21:14 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jan 31 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 08:31:13 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 20:20:20 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat May 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 09 06:33:54 -0700 2008 Sat May 17 21:21:17 -0700 2008
