Star Ways by Poul Anderson
Requirements: ePUB or MOBI Reader, 468 kB
Overview: There was Joachim, captain of the Nomad star ship Peregrine, and ruler of the Peregrine clan. There were also all the ship’s officers and crew and their entire families. Bound to no world, the better part of their lives spent on the great ships, the Nomads were something like the gypsies who once roamed the lands of Earth, and something like the Vikings who once fared Earth’s seas – but different from any human society known before. Once a year, the captains of the Nomad ships met at their secret planet called Rendezvous, where the bylaws and intricate agreements of Nomad society were made and enforced. And this year, Peregrine Joachim had a bombshell to toss into the midst of his colleagues.
Editor’s Note: Welcome back to the oldfashioned future where smoking is cool, anti-gravity is cheap and aliens are quite human.
Text is based on "Anderson, Poul – Starways.pdf" and some clone copies from the internet, which are pretty garbled in places. Restoring it into easily readable form needed some creative editing and hence the text most certainly differs slightly from the original text. (There is also a version on google books, which you may buy if you are interested in a more authentic text; however from the parts that are free to read I’m not so sure how authentic it really is…)
