Product Description

A CLASSIC OF HARD SF FROM WIL MCCARTHY. Back in print and just as relevant as ever! Exploring what the economics of abundance will really look like.

Humanity has conquered the Solar System. What’s more, death itself has been vanquished.

Wellstone–programmable matter–insures that no one need every die, or indeed, age past adulthood. But for the children of immortal parents, life remains a constant state of arrested development.

And a prince shall remain a prince forever, never inheriting the throne. So what is a minor royal to do?

Bascal Edward de Towaji Lutui is tired of his parents–the Queen of Sol and her consort–treating his complaints as so much teenage whining.

Exiled to a “summer camp” on a planette, where he will be out of his royal mother’s hair, he decides to do something about his lot in life.

Along with his fellow malcontents, he manages to make an improbable spaceship and set out for the far reaches of the colonized space.

With hijacked weapons and programmable matter at their disposal, Bascal Edward de Towaji Lutui and his companions are set to prove themselves a force to be reckoned with.
