The first two books in "the most important series in science fiction" from the New York Times-bestselling author of Dreamsnake (Ursula K. Le Guin, author of the Earthsea series).
Starfarers
The Starfarer is a self-sufficient spaceship with a functioning ecosystem, able to navigate from one star system to another via cosmic string, and it is about to embark on a deep space expedition in search of alien contact. Its global crew has come together in the spirit of cooperation and scientific advancement. But Earth struggles with anti-science and anti-technology factions, and there are those who want to turn the Starfarer into a military base. One of them is on board. And he will stop at nothing-including sabotage-to enforce his agenda . . .
Transition
After the crew members of the Starfarer hijack their own ship, they intercept an alien message and attempt to decipher its complex patterns. It could be an introduction, a warning, or a trap. In Tau Ceti, the first star system humans have ever visited, they discover worlds possessing life but no higher forms of intelligence. And with a saboteur still in their midst, tensions rise as the ship and its team hurtle toward a meeting more than three millennia in the making . . .
Praise for the Starfarers Series

"The series features a diverse cast, especially for its 1989 debut date, and a series of interstellar hijinks, the likes of which only McIntyre could conjure." -Tor.com
"A fine novel of adventure." -Greg Bear on Starfarers
"The most exciting and satisfying science fiction I have read this year." -Ursula K. Le Guin on Metaphase
