Signed by Geston and uncommon thus.".remarkable first novel Lords of the Starship (1967) was published while he was still a student at Kenyon College. This work, which establishes the dark mood of all his fiction and is like its immediate successors - each of which is a study in cultural and technological Decadence - is set in a weary, war-torn Far-Future Earth, describes a dilapidated centuries-long attempt to construct an enormous Spaceship whose completion would transform the fortunes of everyone involved and mark a phase of rebirth. The project is, however, a shambles and a sham, and the novel closes in Entropy and despair."
