As Kaimere is a large, warm planet, the heat of the equatorial oceans is such that marine ecosystems demonstrate a great degree of endemism. This may seem at first strange to those of us used to the context of Earth today, wherein many clades and species have cosmopolitan distribution, but it is actually our marine ecosystems that are strange. The general cooling trend of our planet has lifted the equatorial barrier in the past few million years, so marine fauna have much wider distributions than in our planet's past or Kaimere's ranges today.

Songs of the Inland Sea is the sequel to Tales of Kaimere! It is a nautical anthology, with all six short stories and novellas taking place in aquatic settings. There are heists on a ship, a desperate chase through a marsh, and a survival story from the perspective of a killer whale!
