About this product

Product Information

In Port Eternity : Their names were Lancelot, Elaine, Percivale, Gawain, Mordred, Lynette, and Vivien, and they were made people , clone servants who worked aboard The Maid , an anachronistic fantasy of a spaceship. They had no idea of their origins, from those old storytapes of romance, chivalry, heroism, and betrayal, until a ripple in the space-time continuum sucked The Maid and her crew into a no-man's-land from which there could be no return, and they were left alone to face a crisis which their ancient prototypes were never designed to master.... In Wave Without a Shore : Freedom was an isolated planet, off the main spaceways and rarely visited by commercial spacers. It wasn't that Freedom was inhospitable, the problem was that outsiders--tourists and traders--claimed that the streets were crowded with mysterious blue-robed aliens. Native-born humans, however, denied that these aliens existed--until a planetary crisis forced a confrontation between the question of reality and the reality of the question.... In Voyager in Night : Rafe Murray, his sister Jillian, and Jillian's husband Paul Gaines, like many other out-of-luck spacers, had come to newly-built Endeavor Station to find their future. Their tiny ship, Lindy , had been salvaged from the junk heap, and fitted to mine ore from the mineral-rich rings which circled Endeavor. But their future proved to be far stranger than any of them imagined, when a "collision" with a huge alien vessel provided them with the oddest first contact experience possible!
