Perfect for you if...

You love SF that trusts readers to follow strange, philosophical ideas without dumbing them down.
You've read the first Barsk and want to see what happens next to Pizlo and Jorl's stories.
You're drawn to protagonists who are outsiders or misfits working against impossible odds.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots over worldbuilding and character development.
You want standalone novels rather than sequels that build on the first book's foundation.
You're looking for straightforward narratives without metaphysical or philosophical complexity.

About this book

Pizlo, a physically-challenged Fant teenager and outcast, believes he hears voices from Barsk's moons that share secret knowledge with him alone. He embarks on a dangerous voyage to uncover the truth behind these messages, traveling offworld for the second time in his life. His quest will reveal information the galaxy is not yet prepared to know. Meanwhile, Senator Jorl, who can communicate with the dead, represents Barsk in galactic politics as an unwelcome diplomat. He investigates deeper into the planet's past to uncover new truths of his own. This sequel to Barsk: The Elephants' Graveyard uses invented technology to explore ideas beyond everyday limitations.
