Lost in Space

Hugh had been taught that, according to the ancient sacred writings, the Ship was on a voyage to faraway Centaurus. But he also understood this was just allegory for a voyage to spiritual perfection. Indeed, how could the Ship move, since its miles and miles of metal corridors were all there was of creation? Science knew that the Ship was all the universe, and as long as the sacred Converter was fed, the lights would continue to glow, the air would flow, and the Creator's Plan would be fulfilled.

Of course, there were the muties, grotesquely deformed parodies of humans, who lurked in the upper reaches of the Ship, where gravity was weaker. Were they evil incarnate, or merely a divine check on the population, keeping humanity from expanding past the capacity of the Ship to support?

Then Hugh was captured by the muties and met their leader (or leaders)â??Joe-Jim, with two heads on one bodyâ??and learned the true nature of the Ship and its mission between the stars. But could he make his people believe him before it was too late? Could he make them believe that he must be allowed to fly the Ship… (mais)

    Non-Stop por Brian Aldiss (jigarpatel)
    jigarpatel: "Non-Stop" (1958) is a well-developed successor to Heinlein's fix-up "Orphans of the Sky" (whose components were first published 1941). I recommend "Non-Stop" for plot and characterization, "Orphans of the Sky" for those interested in the history of science fiction. Both are excellent.… (mais)

    The Modern Scholar: From Here to Infinity ~An Exploration of Science Fiction Literature~ (14 Lectures on 7 Audiocassettes) por Michael D. C. Drout (themulhern)
    themulhern: This awful work by Heinlein pretty much refutes everything positive that Drout has to say about Heinlein in his discussion of his work in this quite interesting lecture series.

An early Heinlein, written in 1955, this is a lost-colony spaceship with a short-cut ending; it looses impact because of brevity, but is cute nonetheless. ( )

The book started off as a decent SF adventure with scientists and mutants fighting on a generation starship; strongly reminded me of Metamorphosis Alpha. But the ending didn't leave much of an impression on me, and the regressive way that the women were written put me off. ( )

Would have been a better book without the misogynist bits. ( )

Science fiction novel that really impressed me at the time. Giant starship with later generations in separate areas finally get together as a planet is approached. I was just starting to get into Sci-Fi. back then. ( )

Orig. publ. as a two-part serial in Astounding Science Fiction under the titles Universe and Common Sense ( )
