Zusatztext Praise for Tuf Voyaging   “A rich blend of adventure! humor! compassion and all the other things that make being human worthwhile.”— Analog   “A new facet of Martin’s manysided talent.”— Asimov’s   Praise for George R. R. Martin   “Of those who work in the grand epic-fantasy tradition! Martin is by far the best. In fact . . . this is as good a time as any to proclaim him the American Tolkien.”— Time   “Long live George Martin . . . a literary dervish! enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language! and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers.”— The New York Times   “I always expect the best from George R. R. Martin! and he always delivers.”—Robert Jordan Informationen zum Autor George R. R. Martin is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of many novels, including the acclaimed series A Song of Ice and Fire— A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons —as well as Fevre Dream, The Armageddon Rag, Dying of the Light, Windhaven (with Lisa Tuttle), and Dreamsongs Volumes I and II . He is also the creator of The Lands of Ice and Fire, a book of maps from A Song of Ice and Fire featuring original artwork from illustrator and cartographer Jonathan Roberts. As a writer-producer, Martin has worked on The Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and pilots that were never made. He lives with the lovely Parris in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Klappentext Long before A Game of Thrones became an international phenomenon, #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin had taken his loyal readers across the cosmos. Now back in print after almost ten years, Tuf Voyaging is the story of quirky and endearing Haviland Tuf, an unlikely hero just trying to do right by the galaxy, one planet at a time. Haviland Tuf is an honest space-trader who likes cats. So how is it that, in competition with the worst villains the universe has to offer, he's become the proud owner of a seedship, the last remnant of Earth's legendary Ecological Engineering Corps? Never mind; just be thankful that the most powerful weapon in human space is in good hands-hands which now have the godlike ability to control the genetic material of thousands of outlandish creatures. Armed with this unique equipment, Tuf is set to tackle the problems that human settlers have created in colonizing far-flung worlds: hosts of hostile monsters, a population hooked on procreation, a dictator who unleashes plagues to get his own way . . . and in every case, the only thing that stands between the colonists and disaster is Tuf's ingenuity-and his reputation as a man of integrity in a universe of rogues.
