In theory, the ship is traveling fast enough that it can traverse the cosmos for generations, and still return home only a few years after they departed. But a critical fuel shortage threatens to cut their urgent voyage short, even as a population explosion stretches the ship's life-support capacity to its limits. When the astronomer Tamara discovers the Object, a meteor whose trajectory will bring it within range of the Peerless, she sees a risky solution to the fuel crisis. Meanwhile, the biologist Carlo searches for a better way to control fertility, despite the traditions and prejudices of their society. As the scientists clash with the ship's leaders, they find themselves caught up in two equally dangerous revolutions: one in the sexual roles of their species, the other in their very understanding of the nature of matter and energy"--Dust jacket flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Egan Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Science Fiction Egan Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Egan Checked In Add Copy to MyList
