I would like to discuss the void captains tale by norman spinrad.

When I was a teenager I read a book about a girl who decided to travel around to different planets before deciding what to do with her life.in the story I believe it was called a "wanderjar". A journey to discover herself before becoming an adult. On one planet she meets a young man who is a...

Hi, everyone. If someone can assist with this, he or she will be my hero for life. I have been trying to remember/figure this out for soooo long, and have tried every search online I can think of, but I come up empty. I am trying to locate a science fiction novel that I have indeed read, but...

Hi folks! First post here, and I was hoping you people could help to bolster my flagging memory, which could be due to increasing senility through age, or maybe BSE from eating too many dodgy meat pies :) Anyhoo, regarding the book - I cannot remember the specifics of the plot, but the action...
