The voyage of discovery is a metaphor for the human condition: people spend their lives on a journey between birth and death, and the purpose the species has discovered for itself is to understand the mysterious universe in which it has evolved… Vonda McIntyre’s voyage of the “Starfarer” that began in Starfarers continues in Transition, an appropriate title for the central novel of what now is clearly a trilogy in the making. Starfarers performs the traditional role of gathering the crew and describing their vessel. What is not traditional is the nature of the crew, their social structures, and their spaceship. The “Starfarer” is made up of two gigantic rock cylinders plus a solar sail and a jailhouse. Inside each of the cylinders, which rotate to simulate gravity, is a habitat, one for wildlife, the other with houses, almost all underground, grass, flowers, streams, lakes, farms, animal life, and weather.
