The Magnificent Showboats of the Lower Vissel River, Lune XXIII South Big Planet
Description:
On Big Planet lies the Tinsitala Steppe and the great Vissel River, navigated by showboats bringing entertainment and spectacle to far-flung, idiosyncratic communities ashore. Canny ship-masters press relentlessly for advantage among quirky and boisterous audiences; competition is fierce. The stage is set for poignant mishap.
The king of a wealthy up-river realm plans a great contest among showboats. Lured by the boon, Apollon Zamp sails into unknown regions, accompanied by the enchanting but enigmatic Damsel Blanche-Aster, and her suitor Throdorus Gassoon. Meanwhile arch-rival Garth Ashgale plots Zamp's downfall.
Adventure, betrayal, high and low art, tragedy and farce ensue, in the inimitable style of Jack Vance.
