Star Rigger's Way: A Novel of the Star Rigger Universe

Adrift in space!

His rigger crewmates suddenly and horribly dead, Gev Carlyle is adrift in the Flux, the "subjective sea" that carries ships at faster-than-light speeds between the stars. His lone companion and his only hope for survival is a cantankerous, catlike, castaway alien.

Only a compatible rigger team, their visions meshed in psychic unity, can safely harness the most turbulent currents of the Flux—and Carlyle's ship is being drawn inexorably toward a deadly maelstrom, the unthinkable stresses of the Hurricane Flume. For even a chance at survival, he needs the alien's help. But the price for that help is a complete merging of minds and memories.

And Carlyle, at war with his own past, dreads that union more than death itself.

The novel that introduced the Star Rigger universe to thousands of readers, from the Nebula-nominated author of Eternity’s End and The Chaos Chronicles, and recipient of the Helicon Award’s Frank Herbert Lifetime Achievement Award for writing science fiction.

Reviews:

“A novel of character-change, maturation, abandonment of illusions and discovering-of-self . . . it’s an engaging science fantasy and the novel will leave you saying to yourself, ‘Yeah!’” — Richard E. Geis, Galaxy

“Learning to communicate, to accept change, to understand the past, to express intimacy become rites of passage for the human Gev Carlyle and his felinoid cynthian crewmate Cephean.” —Publishers Weekly
