- Synopsis
- This splendid new edition of Brian Aldiss's first science fiction novel-it first appeared in 1958 and was originally published in the United States as Starship-has been updated for the twenty-first century. Non-Stop remains a brilliant and ground-breaking work of the imagination. Curiosity was discouraged in the Greene tribe. Its members lived out their lives in cramped quarters, hacking away at the encroaching jungle called "the ponics. " As to where they were-that had long ago been forgotten. But Roy Complain decides to find out, along with the renegade priest, Marapper. They move into unmapped territory, where they make a series of discoveries that turn their universe upside-down. And they confront a secret kept hidden for twenty-three generations-its discovery will reveal their origins and destiny even as it destroys their world. Book jacket.
