Nova

by Samuel R. Delany | 1969


Captain Lorq Von Ray's passion for vengeance drove him to attempt what no mortal had ever dared: to sail through the heart of a disintegrating sun!

Into von Ray's obsession were drawn the aimless, wandering souls who would plug into any ship that offered adventure and escape:

MOUSE, the young gypsy who created blindingly beautiful visions on the syrynx, an instrument of sensory projection.

IDAS and LYCENOS, twins from the Outer Colonies; one black, one albino.

SEBASTIAN, the golden-haired man, and his tarot-reading mate TYY, who traveled the stars with their six black taloned beasts.

And KATIN, the scholar who preferred the quiet moons of the universe to the powerful suns and planets.

Sorry, we do not have a description or summary of this novel.
