“This is hard sci-fi done right.” —Publishers Weekly (starred
review). “One of the enduring classics of science
fiction.” —George R.R. Martin Deep in the future, natives of
the planet Hydros, an ocean planet whose inhabitants live on
artificial floating islands, force the entire human population of
the island of Sorve into exile, leaving the outcasts to
ponder their fate, their past, and the true purpose of humanity.
After a human offense against the natives of Hydros, the human
population of the island of Sorve are ordered to leave. Forbidden
on all other islands, in a flotilla of ships they seek the
semi-mythical island of the Face of the Waters. During their
journey they are forced to learn more about themselves, leading to
questions about both religion and the purpose of Man. At the end of
the novel Robert Silverberg addresses what it means to be human,
and explores what unites and divides humanity. This new edition of
THE FACE OF THE WATERS, published with the author's full support,
brings Silverberg’s brilliant novel back into the must-read
science-fiction canon, after decades of being out of print.
