Could anyone recommend a book that focuses on the Mediterranean islands and connections between them? I think I want to hop around Sardinia, Corsica and Malta, and maybe more. I probably want to avoid cruise ship ports if possible. Thanks!

First, remember that these islands represent three different countries, so the connections between them may not be as good as you'd like.
A good way to start learning connections between them is the website Rome2Rio. Just pick a city on each island and search for connections; it will then show you the ferries available.
There's definitely a ferry from the southern tip of Corsica to the northern tip of Sardinia. To make other Island connections, you may have to fly. Malta has one airport, Sardinia has three airports (Cagliari, Olbia, and Alghero), and Corsica has four airports (Calvi, Bastia, Figari Sud Corse and Ajaccio). To see who flies from each airport, go to that airport's Wikipedia page.

Traditional ferry-only search engines also show available routes on their menus, such as www.aferry.com.
