Starship - Verloren im Weltraum

Lost in Space. A gigantic spaceship has been drifting aimlessly through space and time for centuries. Gradually, creeping plants have overgrown the interior of the ship, and the descendants of the original crew have regressed into primitive structures. The knowledge of technology, space - even who they are and where they come from - has been forgotten. Roy Complain is one of the inhabitants of the ship. When Roy's wife is kidnapped by a rival group, he ventures beyond the territory he knows. In his search, he encounters not only bizarre life forms but also uncovers clues about the origin of their mission. Brian Aldiss' novel "Starship" was first published in 1958 and marks the beginning of the famous science fiction author's illustrious career.
