The galaxy's inhabited planets are held together by the repressive Eron Company, the apparent holder of the secret to faster-than-light travel through the Tubes, the network linking the scattered worlds together. Mysterious parties have hired the adventurer Horn to assassinate the company's general manager, Garth Kohlnar. The subject of a massive manhunt, he encounters Wendre Kohlnar, the general manager's daughter and possible heir to the empire.Escaping through a transdimensional Tube, Horn finds himself on the planet Eron, a world consumed by the Eron Company. There he encounters a corrupt aristocracy, a brewing power struggle, a covert revolution, and the mystery of who actually knows the secret of the Tubes.With an Afterword by James Gunn describing the history of the book.James Gunn writes:I had no idea that Star Bridge had any claims to classic status until writer Ed Bryant showed up in Missoula, Montana, where the Science Fiction Research Association met in 1976. Ed had just attended a convention in Washington and he told an audience that a novel named Star Bridge had turned him into a science fiction writer, and he added, turning to Jack and me in the audience, "I'm not sure I thanked you."A month later I was having breakfast in New York City with John Brunner and Samuel R. Delany, and I mentioned the incident. Delany said, "The same thing happened to me." And we put Delany's comment on the cover of the Berkeley reprint that Jonas reviewed.Since then Bryant wrote, in an introduction to volume #4 of The Collected Stories of Jack Williamson: "I think I was about twelve, probably in the sixth grade, when the TAB Book Club delivered a paperback of Star Bridge by Jack Williamson and James E. Gunn. To this day, I refuse to understand why this novel is not accorded the same classic status as The Stars My Destination or The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress."PRAISE FOR STAR BRIDGE"...reads more like a collaboration between Heinlein and Asimov. The concept is pure, classic science fiction. A vast empire spans the galaxy, controlled from the planet Eron which alone holds the secret to faster-than-light travel."--Gerald Jonas, science fiction critic for the _New York Times_"A fast-moving blood-and-thunder novel."--The New York TimesPRAISE FOR JACK WILLIAMSON"I have no hesitation in placing Jack Williamson on a plane with two other American giants, Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein."--Arthur C. Clarke"A pair of science fiction classics, as fresh and apposite today as they were nearly half a century ago."--Kirkus Reviews on The HumanoidsPRAISE FOR JAMES GUNN"Transcendental shows exactly why Gunn attained Grandmaster status in the first place."--Paul Di Filippo"One of the very best portrayals of contact with extraterrestrial intelligence ever written."--Carl Sagan on The Listeners

Captain Roberts has left the comfort of the Hades System. He is racing towards the Antares System and the Star Bridge. Only a few refugees were at Hell Station. Most went their own ways or settled on the system's planets. Captain Roberts has come across some derelict ships that might help him build his fleet. First, he will have to deal with the sirens guarding the ships. He will also have to defeat slavers, who have taken an interest in his small fleet. Persephone, his ship's AI is more than she thought. According to Astrea, she may even be a goddess. Nathaniel has also undergone some changes after visiting a system populated with cyborgs. He questions what he has become; is he still human, or has he become a machine. The Ancient Greek Gods have taken an interest in him. They are watching him carefully, occasionally interfering, during his quest for the Star Bridge. This chronicle in Nathaniel's life contains a prolog to bring the reader up to date, so the story may be read independently of the other books. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Colonel Jensen could see the fallen Tinheads in the target area from the First Squad point man's visual feed. Jensen watched as the First Squad moved closer to The Tinheads. Something struck him as strange about what he saw; but, he couldn't quite put his finger on what. As he studied the pattern in which the destroyed Tinheads laid, it dawned on him why it looked so strange. The Tinheads were arranged in an unusually symmetrical heap of shredded metal torsos and limbs. Almost a perfect semicircle, thought Jensen. Then Jensen saw something that made him react instantly. One of the severed weapons appendages was moving. "Hit the deck," Jensen screamed. Almost simultaneously, The Spacemarines drove themselves into alien soil. At nearly the same instant a shielded Tachyon beam passed above Squad One. Suddenly, Tinheads started appearing from behind the mass of metal carnage. Few where whole, most where damaged, missing limbs even heads.

This poignant novel explores how a unilateral decision can change a life. Two things are hard for Joel Gustafson to cope with: not knowing why, and not being able to do anything about it.

While looking out his window one night, Joel sees a lonely dog on the street. Joel spots the animal again and begins sneaking out night after night, trying to find it. During these nocturnal outings, Joel discovers aspects of life he has never imagined. And then one night he discovers that his father’s bed, too, is empty. As Joel investigates his father’s mysterious absences and continues to search for the dog, he discovers his own inner strength and learns about adult disappointments and needs.
