On Blue's Waters is the start of a new work by Gene Wolfe which takes place in the years after Wolfe's four-volume Book of the Long Sun. Horn, the narrator of the earlier work, now tells his own story. Though life is hard on the newly settled planet of Blue, Horn and his family have made a decent life for themselves. But Horn is the only one who can locate the great leader Silk and convince him to return to Blue and lead them all to prosperity. So Horn sets sail in a small boat, on a long and difficult quest across the planet Blue in search of the now legendary Patera Silk.

Return to the Whorl is the third volume of Gene Wolfe's ambitious trilogy The Book of the Short Sun. It is again narrated by Horn, who has embarked on a quest in search of the heroic leader Patera Silk. He has traveled from his home on the planet Blue, reached the mysterious planet Green, and visited the great starship, the Whorl, and even, somehow, the distant planet Urth. But Horn's identity has become ambiguous, a complex question embedded in the story, whose telling is itself complex, shifting from place to place, present to past. Perhaps Horn and Silk are now one being.
