Voyage of the Basset (Sherwood Smith) Books in Order

Sherwood Smith's connection to Voyage of the Basset comes through Journey to Otherwhere, a book linked to the sequel line that grew out of James C. Christensen's myth-soaked original. That matters because the atmosphere here is not quite the same as Smith's own long-running worlds.

This is a branch of fantasy that delights in crossing from the ordinary world into a realm shaped by legend, symbolism, and strange encounters. Young characters step into a place where the landscape feels story-rich from the start, and where getting home depends on understanding more than the surface of what they see.

So if you come to this page, expect a stand-alone adventure that shares some of Smith's usual interests, capable young people, wonder mixed with danger, and a brisk sense of movement, while also belonging to a broader mythic project created by several writers. It is less about mastering a system and more about surviving entry into a world that runs on older, stranger logic.
