Our view
“Sea of Tranquility” is a short, quiet time-travel novel that cares more about human connection than about machinery. One of its strands follows a novelist living through a pandemic after writing about one, and the book openly echoes the author’s earlier work; readers who enjoy that kind of self-reference will get the most from it. Its mood is hopeful rather than bleak, an argument that hard times are survived in company.
