Weapons are minimal in the tale, and are used sparingly, stringent efforts are made to protect the integrity of the world they are visiting, and even when disaster strikes the massive ocean, the crew holds fast to their ideals as they struggle to cope with the crippling after-effects of what can only be called the greatest natural disaster in the history of the planet. Bennett also excels in making this an outstanding story of exploration. Weighing in around 350 pages, one might be tempted to think of 'Over a Torrent Sea' as a light read, but Bennett ensures that this outing isn’t even remotely light… not for Riker, not for the crew, and not for the reader.īennett, once again, proves his reputation as a world-builder, creating an entire biosphere out of thin and thicker water, a biosphere that is intimately connected with the way the story will unfold and effect everyone involved. Multiple Prime Directive issues begin to surface – at Droplet and elsewhere, abductions take place, life’s little miracles come to pass, and more new waves of exploration begin.

Bennett’s latest contribution to the Titan series, 'Over a Torrent Sea'.Īfter several weeks of ongoing exploration, the crew enters an unusual star system with an aquatic planet, dubbed ‘Droplet’… it’s an endless ocean with a massive hurricane and unique life forms – only the Titan crew has no idea just how unique they will prove to be. Nevertheless, the brass and the politicians assure Riker and company that this is exactly what the people of the Federation need – a renewed sense of hope rooted in the optimism and exploratory zeal of the Federation’s glory days. Everybody wishes to play their part, so imagine the chagrin of the crew of the USS Titan when they are ordered out of Federation space once again to resume their mission of exploration. In the wake of the Borg disaster depicted in the Destiny trilogy, Starfleet is busy rebuilding the Federation (and its allies) in nearly every conceivable way.
