The Nebula Award-winning author of The Left Hand of Darkness delivers another brilliant sci-fi work. In this Hainish story, a crew of ten embark on a test flight on a starship with a new experimental star drive that would make Nearly-as-Fast-as-Light flight obsolete.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
For listeners who relish keeping the science in science fiction, Le Guin's novella keeps the techies happy. The crew of a test flight experiments with a new stardrive. Bruce offers a clear, direct narration and handles a wealth of unusual vocabulary. The crew and their families include young children, whom Bruce handles ably, making them ring with youthful stridency. The technical production is not up to par with that of the Star Trek series, but it's also not the focus of the story. Part of a group of short, traditional science fiction pieces from AudioText, these add to a genre often overlooked for audio production. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
