The starship Earthling, filled with thousands of hybernating colonists en route to a new world at Tau Ceti, is stranded beyond the solar system when the ship’s three Organic Mental Cores—disembodied human brains that control the vessel’s functions—go insane. An emergency skeleton crew sees only one chance for survival: to create an artificial consciousness in the Earthling’s primary computer, which could guide them to their destination . . . or could destroy the human race. Frank Herbert’s classic novel that begins the epic Pandora Sequence (written with Bill Ransom), which also includes The Jesus Incident, The Lazarus Effect, and The Ascension Factor.
Frank Herbert, the visionary author of Dune, wrote more than twenty other novels, including Hellstrom’s Hive, The White Plague, The Green Brain, and The Dosadi Experiment. During his life, he received great acclaim for his sweeping vision and the deep philosophical underpinnings in his writings. His life is detailed in the Hugo-nominated biography Dreamer of Dune, by Brian Herbert. Other Frank Herbert novels available from WordFire Press include The Heaven Makers, Direct Descent, The Jesus Incident (with Bill Ransom), and his last published novel, Man of Two Worlds, coauthored with his son Brian Herbert.

WORLD-FAMOUS CREATOR OF DUNE AND THE JESUS INCIDENT, FRANK HERBERT. SUB-TITLE: (Revised Edition). ALSO KNOWN AS: A different version of this novel appeared in Galaxy, under the title Do I Sleep or Wake. SYNOPSIS: THE COMPLETELY REVISED "AUTHOR'S EDITION" OF THE CLASSIC DEEP-SPACE ADVENTURE! "When the publishers announced that they were going to bring out a new edition of Destination: Void, they offered me the opportunity to make any changes I felt were necessary. Because of the tightly interwoven scientific premises behind this story and rapid development in fields related to these premises, it would be extraordinary if discoveries across thirteen years did not dictate certain revisions. You will find, therefore, that this newly-published version of Destination: Void contains significant additions, rewritten portions, changes in character development and certain deletions."--Frank Herbert Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
