Book one of the ANKH Trilogy, the story of Earth's fifteenth colony, 450 years after being settled. It is a water world with tens of thousands of islands and very little usable landmass to build the cities the original pioneers envisioned. Without the ability to recreate an Earth-like civilization, their descendents sink back to a more primative time and create a society of clanboats and small villages. Into this world is born Jonathon McKinnah, known as Jonny Oarboy to his fellow clansmen. An accidental contact brings Jonny in touch with an alien entity who has rested quietly on Islandia for 6,000 years. The two of them start an incredible journey taking them from the past to the present, from Islandia to old Earth, and finally to Earth's other colonies.

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Poor editing distracts, plot lacks By Daniel Cook First, the good: The plot was good enough to goad me to continue reading, if only to see how it might develop. The premise is interesting, if not compelling, but the "fallen humans rediscovering their heritage" theme was MUCH better done in Dan Simmons' "Illium/Olympos" duology.The bad: The EDITING IS HORRIBLE!! Failures of conjugation, tense, incorrect homonyms ("to" instead of "two", etc), and even character names that keep changing ("Big Momma" becomes "Big Mommy" multiple times). I found this so distracting that I almost had to put the book down. The characters are cardboard, with only the protagonist experiencing any growth at all. Unfortunately, that "growth" is incredible--as in there's little credible reason to believe he would develop in the manner described by the mechanisms presented. We are expected to believe that learning to read and re-discovering some basic principles of hydrodynamics, aerodynamics and engineering (with an interest in "law" as well) suddenly turn a simple sailor into a respected leader of men--with no real objections from the community at large. The antagonists are laughably simple, and the leader of the "bad guys" reminds me of Carnegie from "The Book of Eli" (he wants the ancient technology to better rule his "empire"), only without any charm or wit. The book climaxes and concludes far too abruptly and conveniently, as though the author were eager to move on to the next novel--which I suspect he was.Bottom line: You get what you pay for. As this was a free novel, I can honestly say I got my money's worth--and I enjoyed reading it in the same manner that I enjoy watching "B" or even "C" movies. That is, being able to mock the book for its failings was at least as entertaining as the book itself. I will not, however, waste my dollars buying the sequels.

I have to wonder if anyone besides the author did any editing at all. However, contrary to other reviews, I found the story engaging enough to (mostly) overlook the obvious errors and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I will be reading the rest of the collection if it is available for borrowing through Prime. I will not be paying actual money for it.

Multiple uses of "were" when it should be "where". Ripe with misused, misspelled, omitted words that makes the reader have to guess what the storyteller was trying to say or mean. Very disrupting.
