But they can build. On the shores of a deserted Maui town, using hand-drawn plans from a lost voyaging society and koa logs hauled down a volcanic mountainside, they construct two massive double-hulled sailing canoes and recruit a crew willing to cross thousands of miles of open Pacific with nothing but the stars to guide them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir mission is simple and enormous: find out if anyone else is still alive. Tahiti, Fiji, Tonga, New Zealand — each landfall brings first contact with survivors who've rebuilt their own worlds in isolation, some welcoming, some hostile, and none quite what the crew expected. A Tongan warlord is massing war canoes in a hidden channel. Pirates from Bora Bora are stealing catches at spearpoint. And on a tiny atoll, a man named Enoha offers black pearls and oysters to strangers he can barely understand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile, back home, old grudges threaten to fracture the fragile community the crew left behind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a story about what happens after the end — not the scavenging and the ruin, but the moment someone looks at the horizon and decides to sail toward it. With a crew held together by loyalty, stubbornness, and a twelve-year-old girl who refuses to be left on shore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for fans of \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eStation Eleven\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Dog Stars\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e, and anyone who's ever wondered what the Polynesian wayfinders could teach a broken world.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":60378261258526,"sku":"9781592118397","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/8436\/0222\/files\/9781592118397.jpg?v=1792443019","url":"https:\/\/shop.simonandschuster.com\/products\/9781592118397","provider":"Simon and Schuster","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
