Synopsis
A people torn in two by a tragic accident, split by worlds and time, are finally reunited sending their joint history reeling. Amidst incredible alien habitats records are preserved in electronic archives and in muddy inks on old paper; thus the legacies of love and murder left in trust for future generations await discovery. One young man has the insight and the ability to wonder that others lack, to act where others have hesitated. And his actions will echo for generations to come.

Octavo, boards. First edition. "Though no specific mention is made of Homo sapiens, LEGACIES (1995) is tonally akin to SF novels, mostly of an earlier generation, which are set during or after the great interregnum of long night that succeeds the first attempts of our species to inhabit the larger universe, a period during which individual human cultures, having lost all contact with their origins, evolve autonomously. In this case the "human" society of the planet Burdania has turned away from space exploration, with the exception of a cadre of 'Explorers' who build an illicit space drive whose side-effects shatter the home culture. Decades after this disaster, the Explorers have settled upon another planet, discovering sentient life there. With an Anthropological focus much updated from (but evocative of) the work of Chad Oliver, the novel traces the growing human understanding of the newly discovered species, while simultaneously mounting an expedition back to their ruined-Earth home planet. Complex, autumnal lessons are conveyed." - SFE (online). The author's first novel. Hartwell, 200 Significant SF Books by Women, 1984-2001. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#116234).
