On a far-away world a young boy, Lared, dreams of distant places and curious people. Places like the corrupt city-world of Capitol; people like Abner Doon, slayer of worlds, and Jason Worthing, starfighter. As Lared tells of his dreams, so we learn the stories of how Jason and his companions struggle to create a utopia. And of the price they pay . . .

Including the novel The Worthing Chronicle, selected short fiction and an introduction from the author, this is an enthralling space history - from one of the greatest SF authors of our day.
