On a dark spring night, nine weeks behind schedule, the MNS Indestructible, a Class C Submersible Deepswimmer, departs Sancrist Isle with a crew of twenty and a callous disregard for the inevitable.
Armed with top secret devices, a band of intrepid gnome explorers sets out on a legendary journey to sub-navigate the continent of Ansalon and discover why very large rocks float. Although the fate of the world does not hang in the balance, theirs certainly does.
This is the tale of that ship, and of Conundrum, the heroic gnome from Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's best-selling War of Souls trilogy.
