Cole is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story unfolds in a richly imagined world where traders navigate the complexities of commerce and authority, touched by elements of adventure and intrigue. It revolves around a character named Musa, a trader from Karth, who becomes embroiled in a dangerous interplay with priests of a sea god, Kondaro, as he seeks to explore new lands and confronts the challenges posed by a mix of supernatural beliefs and advanced technology. The opening of the novel introduces us to Musa as he navigates the vibrant streets of Karth, setting the tone for his journey as he interacts with various traders and merchants. Musa’s encounter with Lanko, a character who radiates confidence and knowledge, hints at the greater dangers and adventures to come. Through Musa's eyes, the reader also gets a glimpse of the local customs and the mysterious undercurrents surrounding the sea god's priesthood. As Musa embarks on his journey to the Eastern Sea, he grapples with tales of impending threats and the political machinations that accompany his trade, setting the stage for the unfolding conflict between personal ambition and the treacherous landscapes filled with moral quandaries.
