The Greatship (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 18 - 22 working days
|
Since the beginning of the universe, the giant starship wandered
the emptiest reaches of space, without crew or course, much less
any clear purpose. But humans found the relic outside the Milky
Way, and after taking possession, they named their prize the Great
Ship and embarked on a bold voyage through the galaxy's civilized
hearts.
Larger than worlds, the Great Ship is laced with caverns and
oceans, scenes of exalted beauty and corners where no creature has
ever stood. Habitats can be created for every intelligent species,
provided that the passengers can pay for the honor of a berth, and
the human captains make the rules and dispense the justice in what
soon becomes thousands of alien species joined a wild,
unpredictable journey.
The first Great Ship story was "The Remoras," published in 1994 by
THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION. All but the most
recent titles in the series have been included in this volume,
arranged in a rough chronological order, each story partly
rewritten to capture the author's growing expertise in the
starship. New material has been added to bridge the centuries,
hopefully enriching the resident confusion.
Robert Reed is the author of a dozen science fiction novels,
including two titles about the Great Ship: MARROW and THE WELL OF
STARS, both from Tor Books. He has also published more than two
hundred shorter works, winning a Hugo in 2007 for his novella, "A
Billion Eves." Reed is a long-term resident of Lincoln, Nebraska.
