This series of posts covers Titan Books' current plans for its series of Philip José Farmer reissues, which fall under the umbrellas Wold Newton Series and Grandmaster Series.
Today I'm pleased to announce that Titan will be reissuing Farmer's The Wind Whales of Ishmael as part of their Grandmaster Series.
First published in 1971, Farmer's masterful SF sequel to Herman Melville's Moby-Dick has not seen an English edition in over 30 years.
Ishmael, lone survivor of the doomed whaling ship Pequod, falls through a rift in time and space to a future Earth—an Earth of blood-sucking vegetation and a blood-red sun, of barren canyons where once the Pacific Ocean roared.
Here too there are whales to hunt—but whales that soar through a dark blue sky....
Hugo Award-winner Philip José Farmer has spun a fascinating tale of whaling ships and seamen of the sky in a bizarre future world where there are no seas to sail and no safe harbor to call home....
Titan Books' edition of The Wind Whales of Ishmael is scheduled for March 2013.
To recap, here is the lineup to date. Continue to watch this space as I'll be revealing more over the next few days.
