Non-Stop

Published to coincide with the author's 80th birthday, 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 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, and with the renegade priest, Marapper, he moves into unmapped territory, where they make a series of discoveries which turn their universe upside-down.Aldiss, Brian W. is the author of 'Non-Stop', published 2005 under ISBN 9781585676835 and ISBN 1585676837.
