<br/><br/> Babel-17, winner of the Nebula Award for best novel of the year, is a fascinating tale of a famous poet bent on deciphering a secret language that is the key to the enemуѫs deadly force, a task that requires she travel with a splendidly improbable crew to the site of the next attack. Published as the author intended with the short novel Empire Star, the tale of Comet Jo, a simple-minded teen thrust into a complex galaxy when ћеѫs entrusted to carry a vital message to a distant world.
