The Starry Rift
A collection of linked stories.
The Rift is the River Darkness, a starless standing wave of nothingness between galactic arms. A region filled only with visions and voices; innocent terror and mortal atrocity; sacrifice, tragedy, decisions. And heroes.
Set in the same universe as the acclaimed Brightness Falls from the Air, against the backdrop of a far future university library where alien students are researching a project on the history of the human race, acclaimed multiple Hugo and Nebula winner James Tiptree, Jr. weaves a tapestry of individual courage and passion into a saga of exploration, confrontation and crisis – the Federation's conquest of the Galactic Frontier.

James Tiptree Jr.
James Tiptree, Jr. (1915–1987) was the pen name of American science fiction author Alice Bradley Sheldon, used from 1967 to her death. She also occasionally wrote under the pseudonym Raccoona Sheldon (1974–1977). Tiptree/Sheldon was most notable for breaking down the barriers between writing perceived as inherently "male" or "female" – it was not publicly known until 1977 that James Tiptree, Jr. was a woman.
