The Wreck of the River of Stars (SF)

In this magnificent stand-alone epic of the spaceways, author Flynn grows in stature. The luxury liner "River of Stars" was once the envy of all solar sailors, but she operates now as a tramp freighter and her crew is a motley group of misfits. When an unlikely and catastrophic engine failure strikes, the story of their doom has the inevitability and power of a Greek tragedy.
