Waterman: a Turn-of-the-Century Toughs omnibus of historical fantasy and retrofuture science fiction


Waterman: a Turn-of-the-Century Toughs omnibus of historical fantasy and retrofuture science fiction [Kindle Edition]
by Dusk Peterson

Meredith is from the Eastern Shore of the Bay. Carr is from the Western Shore. . . .

"Fair play" is the motto of the Third House at Narrows School, but that motto takes on a different meaning when a lonely member of the Third House is secretly wooed by a young man from a rival House.

This 100,000-word omnibus contains all the current stories in Waterman, a historical fantasy series and retrofuture series inspired by the Chesapeake Bay oyster wars, boarding school rivalries in the 1910s, and 1960s visions of things to come.

About the Author
Dusk Peterson is a long-time resident of Maryland. The author's research for this story drew upon turn-of-the-century books, maps, and images; modern accounts by Chesapeake islanders and watermen; and visits to bay islands, port towns, and museums. Peterson is the author of Turn-of-the-Century Toughs, a cycle of historical fantasy novels that includes the Waterman series.
