"The Wind Whales of Ishmael" Paperback by Philip Jose Farmer

Ishmael survived the wreck of the Pequod and the wrath of the white whale. He did not expect to survive a fall through time and space.

He wakes on a future Earth under a blood-red sun, where the Pacific Ocean has long since vanished, leaving barren canyons in its place. The vegetation here drinks blood. The sky is a deep, dark blue. And across that sky, enormous whales soar on the wind.

Where there are whales, there are whalers. Ishmael, a man who has already stared down the deadliest hunt of all, finds himself among sailors of the sky in a strange new world with no seas to sail and no safe harbor to call home.

Hugo Award-winner Philip José Farmer takes one of literature’s most famous castaways and sends him somewhere stranger than Melville ever dreamed. A bold, bizarre, and fascinating adventure. Cast off while you can.
