published 1977
verdict: good!
- just what one is looking for in an old paperback scifi book.
- descendents of a ships crew are marooned in a sphere of water in space, eking out an existence in the extreme conditions.
- this happened because of global warming causing sea levels to rise. people used wormholes to suck the extra water into space. some people got sucked in by accident.
- I think the name refers to the raft of the medusa? Can't remember if this is mentioned in the text.
