Summary

Starship rigging is a long-lost art. But the ocean world Ernathe may hold the key to its rediscovery, if a young star pilot can learn the ways of the mysterious sea people, the Nale’nid. A touching story of love and personal discovery, Seas of Ernathe takes us on a journey back toward the mode of star travel that once knit the galaxy together.

Seas of Ernathe was Jeffrey A. Carver’s first novel, and the first full-length tale of what was to become his popular Star Rigger Universe. Set farthest into the future of all the Star Rigger stories, Seas of Ernathe sets the stage for a new cycle of star-faring history.

From the Nebula-nominated author of Eternity’s End and The Chaos Chronicles.

Not what I thought.

I found it a bit too philosophical for my taste. I persevered to the end. I only gave 2* because it's not a book I would read twice.

I cant get past the awful pronunciation!

This is the second book of Mr Carvers I have endured being mutilated by the stilted speach patterns, added consonants and limited sopporific voice varietions of this narrator

This is such a shame as Carver's books are amongst my favourites for many years; just not befitting for the works of such a celebrated author.

Could I suggest to Audible that a wider varience of ethnic accents would be much appreciated by many of your listeners.

Insomnia cure

A poor story and an even poorer narrator cured my insomnia completely. Not worth listening to.
