Sea of Troubles
M. S. Murdock. Writers Club Press, $15.95 (280pp) ISBN 978-0-595-20920-0
M.S. Murdock (Web of the Romulans) weaves a compelling tale of discovery, danger and the importance of morals in her new SF adventure, A Sea of Troubles. Impassioned Professor Owlglass, aided by the Hans Solo-esque engineer James Ahrens, leads a research expedition to the watery planet of Okeanos, where he and his crew quickly find themselves haunted by strange and vivid dreams, plagued by their own inner and interpersonal conflicts, and prey to the planet itself, which, like a ""Venus's flytrap [ensnares] its victims with its innocent beauty"" and holds many deep secrets.
