Showcasing the evocative artwork created by John Moll for this special edition, James A. Michener’s The Watermen is a unique tribute to the adventurous seafarers of the Chesapeake Bay. Excerpted from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author’s classic Chesapeake, this enthralling novel has a unity and a spirit all its own, telling the story of the bay and its wildlife, but especially of the watermen, from their favorite pastimes to their rivalries in hunting, oystering, racing, and fighting. Gorgeously illustrated, brilliantly conceived, The Watermen is a narrative and visual feast from one of America’s favorite storytellers. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Hawaii.   Praise for Chesapeake   “Another of James Michener’s great mines of narrative, character and lore.”—The Wall Street Journal   “[A] marvelous panorama of history seen in the lives of symbolic people of the ages . . . an emotionally and intellectually appealing book.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution   “Michener’s most ambitious work of fiction in theme and scope.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer   “Magnificently written . . . one of those rare novels that is enthusiastically passed from friend to friend.”—Associated Press.

Jennifer Prothero feels safe living in New Garth with her adopted family, something she hadn't believed possible when she lived in Deem. Barely a child when she followed Seth and Mole, Orlando and Candy, Morgan and Dharmistha from the corrupt city, she is discovering the restlessness of adolescence, making her wonder if the seemingly idyllic life among her adopted family is really what she wants. Then, the rural peace is destroyed when space ships carrying two species of alien crash nearby, one friendly, the other hostile—Watermen, perverse, child-stealing monsters whose previous visits left death and destruction behind. Aided by Sill and Glider, the genderless alien survivors of the first crashed ship, Jennifer and her family choose to fight for their home. When the battle is done, Jennifer faces an unexpected new choice about her future.
