Rogue Ship

A E Van Vogt Rogue Ship

Book Review:

A mighty space cruiser coasts through the dreadful emptiness of space on its voyage of human survival.
She was crewed by a handpicked team and launched on a one-way trip to the planets clustered around Centaurus.
But what had not been foreseen was the changed that would occur along the way, on mutiny, madness and revolution.
