Norstrilia
Norstrilia

Immortality drug adventure; eccentric, rich universe vision.

"Norstrilia" is perfect for those who revel in stories that mesh grand, imaginative world-building with a touch of the peculiar. If you fancy traversing a universe where the stakes are as high as purchasing planets and where immortality is a mere drug away, this book's exuberant journey will likely charm you with its unique blend of science fiction and adventure. Cordwainer Smith's vision is unforgettably distinct and will stay with you long after the last page.

Description

The most complex and lyrical of all future histories. Lush, strange, unique, a treasure - Stephen Baxter. Cordwainer Smith's stories were an amazement to me when I first read them. Forty years later, they still are... exuberant language, brilliant invention and hallucinatory imagery - Ursula Le Guin. It starts with Rod McBan. We know his family was distinguished. We know the poor kid was born to troubles. He was due to inherit the Station of Doom. And then he gets around. He crosses all sorts of people. C'Mell, the most beautiful of the girlygirls of Earth. The wild old man of Adminaby. The trained spiders of Earthport. The Lord Jestocost, whose name is a page in history. Ruth, in pursuit. C'Mell in flight. The Lord Jestocost laughing. Colourful and allusive, boisterous and subtle, Norstrilia is the only SF novel from one of the genre's most remarkable and original voices and offers an exuberant, eccentric and wildly imaginative vision of the universe - a vision like no other. Cordwainer Smith is timeless - Terry Pratchett.
