It s no surprise that The Adventures of Tom Rynosseros has been called The best and most ambitious Australian science fiction series ever written, and one of the best, ever, period or that Locus magazine in the US saw it as placing its author among the masters of the field.

Only seven Nationals have won Hero Colours and fine sandships from the rival tribes that rule Australia a thousand years from now. We join the Blue Captain, Tom Tyson, and his crew aboard the magnificent kite-drawn charvolant Rynosseros as he strives to discover his true identity in a world of strange and dangerous desert states, orbiting battle stations, mind war and the most bizarre terraforming and genetic experiments imaginable. We travel with Tom to the islands of the Inland Sea, to the great fighting ground of the Air, to deserted carnivals, haunted artists colonies, fire-chess contests and the abandoned arcologies of the interior, all while searching for clues to the meaning of the three signs he carries with him from his time in the Madhouse. </P

For that is the great mystery here, and Tom s search to discover who he is, and why he has come to be in this place at this time is one of the most memorable journeys in modern fantastic fiction.

The exciting first volume of The Complete Rynosseros brings us the first two collections in the momentous saga, Rynosseros and Blue Tyson, together with the unforgettable novella The Library and the never before collected Marmordesse, presented in the intended reading order for the very first time.
