John Truck turns out to be part Centaurian - the last identifiable
survivor of a genocidal war - and he's caught between two
bloodthirsty Terran factions, both seeking the enigmatic weapon
that was the Centaurian legacy to their destroyers. This one is
well intentioned but self-indulgent - it has its moments but
they're few and far between the light years. (Kirkus Reviews)
John Truck was to outward appearances just another lowlife
spaceship captain. But he was also the last of the Centaurans - or
at least, half of him was - which meant that he was the only person
who could operate the Centauri Device, a sentient bomb which might
hold the key to settling a vicious space war. M. John Harrison's
classic novel turns the conventions of space opera on their head,
and is written with the precision and brilliance for which is
famed.
