Lurulu

Following Ports of Call, Myron Tany continues his picaresque wanderings as supercargo on the space freighter Glicca.

Traveling world to world, Myron encounters unexpected delights and perils among the peculiar civilizations of the Gaean Reach, and among the pilgrims and mountebanks who take passage aboard the ship.

SF Grandmaster Jack Vance’s last novel, Lurulu is lyrical testimonial to a simple truth: most important in a voyage is what happens along the way.
