The ocean is vast and mostly uncharted. In these nineteen stories, authors imagined some of what might be happening under the surface of the waves. Or in some cases, on dry land when water-dwelling creatures pull themselves out of the ocean into a world of furry and feathered animals that they struggle to relate to. Dance in a cuttlefish rave. Join a shark as she attempts to build an airship. Attend an underwater ball thrown by crab-aliens. Watch the last Asian dragon perform in a whale and dolphin circus. Listen to a ballad sung by lobsters and whelks. Hunt for a killer shark with two waring ocean races under a tense truce. Ride squid with the Hell’s Anglerfish seal gang. But above all, don’t forget to bring a wet suit! Featuring stories by Louis Evans, Allison Thai, Koji A. Dae, Gustavo Bondoni, Nenekiri Bookwyrm, Kary M. Jomb, Huskyteer, Kittara Foxworthy, Daniel Lowd, K.C. Shaw, Willow Croft, Mary E. Lowd, James L. Steele, Su Haddrell, Daniel R. Robichaud, Frances Pauli, Mark Slauter, Jude-Marie Green, and S. Park.

From BSFA Award winning author Gareth L. Powell comes the first in a new epic sci-fi trilogy exploring the legacies of war. The sentient warship Trouble Dog was built for violence, yet following a brutal war, she is disgusted by her role in a genocide. Stripped of her weaponry and seeking to atone, she joins the House of Reclamation, an organisation dedicated to rescuing ships in distress. When a civilian ship goes missing in a disputed system, Trouble Dog and her new crew of loners, captained by Sal Konstanz, are sent on a rescue mission. Meanwhile, light years away, intelligence officer Ashton Childe is tasked with locating the poet, Ona Sudak, who was aboard the missing spaceship. What Childe doesn't know is that Sudak is not the person she appears to be. A straightforward rescue turns into something far more dangerous, as Trouble Dog, Konstanz and Childe find themselves at the centre of a conflict that could engulf the entire galaxy. If she is to save her crew, Trouble Dog is going to have to remember how to fight...
La nave senziente Trouble Dog è stata costruita per seminare violenza, ma, dopo una brutale guerra, è in cerca di redenzione dagli orrori di cui si è macchiata durante il conflitto. Demilitarizzata dopo il patto di pace, vaga in cerca di espiazione e si unisce alla Squadra di Recupero, un’organizzazione dedicata al salvataggio di navi in pericolo. Quando una nave civile scompare in un sistema conteso, la Trouble Dog e il suo equipaggio di solitari, capitanato da Sal Konstanz, vengono inviati in missione. Nel frattempo, ad anni luce di distanza, l’ufficiale dei servizi segreti Ashton Childe ha il compito di individuare e mettere in salvo la poetessa Ona Sudak, passeggera della nave spaziale scomparsa. Ciò che però Childe non conosce è il passato misterioso della donna che deve trovare. Quello che inizialmente sembra essere un semplice salvataggio, si trasforma in un conflitto in grado di inghiottire l’intera galassia. Se vuole salvare il suo equipaggio, la Trouble Dog dovrà riscoprire tutti i segreti dell’arte della guerra...
