Roberts, cover art by Boris Vallejo.The Iona, a pilgrim vessel, seeks a planet on which to end their overly long pilgrimage. There is one very clear rule: they must be invited to land. There is also a very clear problem: their lengthy pilgrimage has taken a toll, both on the Iona itself and on the people aboard. . Chris Sheehan said NOT THIS ONE. I did not like this one at all, at all. I guess you would have to love this type of novel. I'm just not into any "Star Wars" stuff, not even the movies.

Greeley's tale of love and conflict in a heathen world also gets a welcome reissue

This science fiction story tells the tale of the pilgrim vessel Iona and its search for a planet to colonize. When they fly over the planet Zylong, it is decided to send Seamus O'Neill down to spy on the Zylongi
