Cover Art: John Harris Ilustrador. 1st UK Edition. © 1992: 1st in the 'Million Open Doors' series of books. 1st UK edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: Humanity has spread across a swathe of stars, and a new entity has developed: the Thousand Cultures. But now these very different societies are quickly - too quickly - being reunited. Instantaneous transportation has collapsed the vast distances of space. Giraut Leones, from the troubadour-like Nou Occitan, is given to art, duels and passionate love. Discovering that his lover is unfaithful, he impulsively exiles himself to Caledony, on planet Nansen, a world stranger than he can imagine: Caledony glorifies reason, hard work, and conformity. At first Giraut sees himself as a cultural ambassador. But as Caledony struggles under the tremendous shock of changes brought about by the new communications, and then breaks down, and as upheaval and fear spread across the Thousand Cultures, Giraut must find new values, strength and heroism if he and the worlds he loves are to survive:- Review(s): "A venerable theme of traditional SF - the reintegration of far-flung colony worlds - enlivened with such zest, energy and intelligence that readers across a wide spectrum of tastes will be charmed. A consistently enjoyable read, one of the most inventive and diverting SF novels this year" - Washington Post / "Ingenious science-fictional furniture and appealing characters who must deal with issues of importance. Barnes blows up a storm" - Locus / "Strong, thoughtful, passionate stories. Barnes carries us away by giving the sweep of history a deftly personal touch" - Orson Scott Card / "Combines speculation, action and character (with) the hallmark of a master. A must-read" - Los Angeles Reader:- (original cost £14.99). Nº de ref. del artículo: 11.001.00745
