Wind And Waves

The Merman's Children, Book Two, I.

Having embarked on Book Two, we must now specify that we are in that Book because the chapter numbers recommence from I.

The merfolk have stolen a ship named Pretiosissimus Sanguis. Authors test our knowledge of Latin, some more than others.

Sail rattles, hull creaks, yaws, rolls and pitches, spray sheets, passengers jostle and cry out, waters crest, wind spills, hoots, shrills, strains, smites and strikes, rain walks, a cloud cavern gapes, lightning flares and thunder tones. We are in our elements.

The previous post listed three multiverses. As we have noted before, Neil Gaiman's Inn of the Worlds' End is comparable to Poul Anderson's Old Phoenix. However, Worlds' End connects a multi-authored multiverse.

We want to see Anderson's works adapted not only to screen but also into the graphic medium commonly called comic strips where we would not only read but also see Pretiosissimus Sanguis amid wind and waves.
