Wrongly discredited as a space pilot, Panglor Balef is doomed to die in space, if sheer luck doesn't bring him through. But luck has never been in Panglor's cards. Bad enough to be coerced into a mission of murder and suicide, he must also contend with Alo--a young woman, stowaway, and impossible companion. Neither of them, nor his empathic ou-ralot, could possibly anticipate the journey through space-time they are about to embark on, through a door to an insane reality from which there is almost certainly no return. It could be the discovery of the millennium, but the only way home is to journey even further into the heart of madness. The stunning prequel to the famed Star Rigger Universe of Jeffrey A. Carver, Nebula-nominated author of Eternity's End and The Chaos Chronicles.… (mehr)

A crusty, discredited space pilot and a stowaway girl of uncertain age, due to time dilation and other timey-wimey mishaps, crash-land on a planet where, to put it mildly, time is out of joint. There are bad guys, wrecked spacecraft, and stranded aliens. Panglor is the foundation book for Jeffrey A Carver’s six-book Star Rigger series originally published from 1976 to 2000. Carver’s flux-space universe has just enough hard science to keep it out of Dr. Who territory. 4 stars. ( )

Twists and turns and interesting adventure!

I really enjoy the Star Rigger stories (especially the Dragon stories!) and this book fits in well with the series. A prequel, of sorts, it had a good arc - from disgraced pilot pressured by, well, space-mobsters, to a castaway, to hero - Panglor goes through a hero's journey of sorts.

Carver's Star Rigger 'verse is a nice change from Star Wars/Trek genre fiction (which I certainly don't eschew). It would be fun to see more - especially in the Dragon realms, though I doubt that is coming. ( )

An interesting story well told, but more of interest in setting the scene for the star rigger series than of any wider merit. 26 October 2015 ( )

I’ve not read any books by Carver, I picked this up off the shelf at Powell’s in Portland because it’s back cover synopsis sounded interesting, and it was a discounted, used book, so I didn’t have much to lose. It turned out to be quite a good read, and the only thing I didn’t like about it was the infrequent bad language. It was a great story, kept my interest and was a nice, easy read.

Apparently this is the “introductory” book to a universe that Carver has written about in several other books, and I’m interested to know if they’re worth pursuing. The story about a place where ships lost in space end up was captivating and the idea behind it fresh and well-written. It’s worth the read if you have nothing good lined up. ( )
