Passage to Jarpara

… To find a job. 

Now a married man, the time has come for Taef to begin his long-delayed career as a professor of Island archaeology and/or Island history. To do so, he and Lessie, along with Sella and Carz, set sail for the Island and the University of Jarpara.

Passage to Jarpara is a travelogue of that journey. It’s an account of islands called on, old friends and acquaintances met, new ones made, as well as potential pirates, curse-beasts, haunted Tiki palaces, fire islands, and a hidden race of immortals. In short, it’s an episodic record of the everyday life of the island-studded Tropic Sea.

Passage to Jarpara is the third and final volume of Tales of the Tropic Sea from the pen of C. Litka. It draws a fitting conclusion to the adventures of Taef, Sella, and Lessie that begin with their voyage to Redoubt Island and continued with the freeing of the Prisoner of Cimlye. It blends fantasy, science fiction, adventure, and romance told in C. Litka's classic lighthearted style. Like all his novels, it features engaging characters, witty dialog, meticulous world-building, and mysteries to be solved in unexpected ways.
