'THE PASSENGER' is a companion volume [issued (US),October 25th,2022 - six weeks before 'Stella Maris' - see my book ID rja1166424 for an example.] - and is not a 'prequel' to 'STELLA MARIS'. While each may lend an insight into the relationship of the brother and sister, they can be read in any order.The plot of both 'The Passenger' and 'Stella Maris' follows Bobby and Alicia Western,two siblings whose father helped develop the atomic bomb. The first of a two-volume masterpiece: 'The Passenger' is the story of a salvage diver, haunted by loss,afraid of the watery deep, pursued for a conspiracy beyond his understanding,and longing for a death he cannot reconcile with God,and tormented by his inability to save his sister Alicia - the protagonist of the novel's proto-sequel,'Stella Maris' - from suicide,which happens a decade before 'The Passenger' takes place.   Please contact the seller,because of the value of this item,particularly ALL overseas buyers, for correct [insured,or uninsured at own risk] shipping/P+p quotes BEFORE placing your order, especially if ordering any multiples.
