Synopsis

A Nebula-Award finalist, showcasing suspense and danger in a slow-light environment. From the author of MANHATTAN TRANSFER and others. Aboard the hyperspace liner Redshift, the first sign of trouble is the apparent * of a passenger. When first officer Jason Kraft discovers that she was murdered, Kraft wants to know why. Before long, a desperate group of people tries to use the hyperspace craft for their evil purposes, and Kraft is the only person in their way.

From the PASSENGER GUIDE. WARNING: Read This Guide Before Boarding the Redshift.

The environment aboard a hyperspace craft is quite safe as long as you are careful. The management reminds you that the speed of light on board this craft is ten meters per second, or about 30 million times slower than what you are used to. This means you will frequently encounter relativistic effects and optical illusions...

About this title

Review

"The list of science fiction authors who play the game the hard way by sticking to the rules of science is all too short. Now to that group which includes Clarke, Niven, Asimov, Bear, and Clement should be added the name of John E. Stith." -Dan Simmons "If you love writers who play techy games with reality...pick this one up." -Analog "Mystery and adventure against a fascinating hard science background. This is without question Stith's best work to date." -Science Fiction Chronicle "Redshift Rendezvous represents an ingenious exploration of an idea in a manner that only science fiction can allow." -Locus "a unique, fascinating hard SF novel. Recommended." -Library Journal "This is absolutely one of the most terrific ideas for an SF novel I've seen in years. My first thought was, Why couldn't I have come up with this?' My second thought, too." -Connie Willis
