These are the tales of Eternal Voyager. Tales from the Metaverse: a distant future in which all life is virtual.These are the tales of Eternal Voyager. Tales from a distant future in which all life is virtual.

A TRILOGY: This edition comprises 3 books by Sheri S. Tepper: The Song of Mavin Manyshaped, The Flight of Mavin Manyshaped, and The Search of Mavin Manyshaped. For Mavin, coming of age as a shape-shifter is both exhilarating and terrifying. Recklessly headstrong, she is to become notorious in the lands of the True Game. With her brother, she leaves their home - a place of slavery and fear - only to have the boy's powers of beguilement lead them into danger. When she is rescued by the Wizard Himaggery, the shape-shifter and man of magic makes a vow. When 20 years have come and gone, they will meet again. But Himaggery has vanished, leaving only a letter of love behind for Mavin to find. If he were dead, she would know it; sorcerers could trace the scent of his trail, necromancers could raise his bones from the dust. But he has disappeared - beyond the power of wizardry. And so, the search of Mavin Manyshaped begins... "A plot of many switches, eccentric and developed characters, and a setting in a wonder-filled fantasy world." Science fiction at its best.

In the near future from a 1950’s perspective, the first space station, in orbit around the Earth, gets knocked out of orbit due to pilot miscalculation. The subsequent disaster, with shuttle and space station crash landing near San Francisco, creates a public furor calling for the end of the space program. General Oglethorpe, the earth side base commander in charge of the space program, recruits Dr. Paul Medick, an expert in psychology and psychometrics, to head a new project: to eliminate human error. Oglethorpe is certain that men can be made to be more mechanical, operating with the same reliability of the machines which they operate. The government had spent one billion dollars to convince the human race that men ought to be ashamed to be men—instead of being cybernetic machines incapable of miscalculation.. But they did not consider that an error less man is a dead man. A fast-paced pulp classic which originally appeared in the April 1956 issue of If Worlds of Science Fiction.
