The Blue World

Plot

"The Blue World was beautiful--a world of water, with floating islands made by the thick, spreading tops of gigantic ocean growth, big enough to support neat houses and sea gardens alive with fish of all kinds, rich with edible water plants, and even communication towers so that the People of the Floats were not cut off from one another but could send messages and enjoy festivals and meeting together. Except for one thing. The massive abundance of the ocean spawned far more than food for the puny human beings living on the surface. The Floats were in constant danger from the ravaging attacks of monster sea creatures against whom there was no defense--except cowardly propitiation. The Blue World needed a rebel, one who would give his life if necessary. They found one. This is his story"--Page 4 of cover.
