Synopsis

The book is a creative exploration into the nature of faith and the place it will have in humankind's future. In "The Secret Sharer," a starship captain is confronted with an invasion into his own mind.

Reviews

Remaining faithful to a literary source while expressing personal concerns is a talent Silverberg mastered in his 1984 novel Gilgamesh the King. His new novella does the same for Conrad's famous tale of a young ship's captain harboring a fugitive. As his first challenge on the starship Sword of Orion, Adam must deal with the escape of a matrixa disembodied electronic pattern of a mindand the death of a passenger in suspension. When that matrix of a young girl asks for help, Adam gives her refuge in his own mind. Such a processtesting and defining identity through intimate communion with anotheris a favorite Silverberg motif. If it is less memorably worked out here than it has been before, Silverberg's accomplished pen still makes this voyage a pleasure.
