Title: Wonderful, somber adventure
Review: Sterling's first novel, written almost a decade before cyberpunk became a household word.The setting is a desolate world with a single habitable crater, which is itself filled with a sea of near-fluid dust. This bleak, deadly place sets the tone for the story, which follows an addict trying to restablish a source for his drug of choice: "Flare," which is distilled from the oil of whale-like creatures which swim in the dust. He signs up for a berth on a whaling boat whose crew includes a captain obsessed with what lies beneath the dust seas, and an insane alien woman.Somber, gripping, modestly awe-inspring.END
