Summary:

A 'brilliant . . . classic of the field' generation ship adventure from the Golden Age of Science Fiction by the author of the Helliconia Trilogy (Encyclopedia of Science Fiction).

Non-Stop is Grand Master of Science Fiction and Hugo and Nebula Awardwinning author Brian W. Aldiss's debut novel. Written in response to Robert Heinlein's Orphans of the Sky and published in the late 1950s, it is set in a primitive world, home to tribes of inhabitants who endure their harsh and stunted lives in a maze of corridors. Though legends exist that they're actually on a ship traveling through the universe, no one really believes it. But that conviction doesn't stop a group of people from embarking on a mission to find the rumored 'Forwards' section and its control room. Through a tangled, hydroponic jungle, they'll encounter telepathic animals, giants, outcasts, and mutants in an epic race to uncover the truth—and survive.

'A breakneck ride filled with some truly disturbing and chaotic imagery . . . Aldiss' world is visceral and powerful.' —Science Fiction and Other Suspect Ruminations

'Worth reading, and quite a significant contribution to the long SF history of generation ship novels.' —SF Site
