"A memoir of the baroque adventures and moral education of a young man who joins the crew of a dustwhaler, a ship that sails upon a sea of dust within a vast crater, seventy miles deep, on a waterless planet, in search of a mysterious prey; the influence of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick (1851) is clear throughout." - Colin Greenland and John Clute, SFE (online).
