Threatened by an interstellar menace from beyond the galaxy, the great Goldenwing ship, Gloria Coelis with her crew of Wired starmen and cats, heads to the advanced planet Yamato to enlist the aid of the greatest military power in the human galaxy. Will they be believed? What if the only proof is death? This is the kind of old-fashioned, grand-scale space adventure one would give a good deal to see on the big screen." --Booklist "Coppel does a super job evoking the colony world's culture, and working out the efforts by the protagonists to thwart the Terror." --SF Chronicle

The age of colonization ended a thousand years ago. Only a few Goldenwings, the huge spaceships which carried humanity from Earth to many colony planets, still remain, still voyaging between the distant colonies carrying the cargoes those societies need to survive. The Goldenwing Gloria Coelis (known as Glory), with the glittering beauty of a sunrise, its huge space sails spread for hundreds of miles, approaches the planet Voerster with an essential shipment of biological materials, ordered 400 years before in local time. And on Voerster, settled by South Africans determined to preserve apartheid, revolution and war threaten, while the conservative ruler Ian Voerster and his wife are locked in a struggle over their sick daughter, whose heart condition will kill her without the advanced medicine of Glory. Filled with action and memorable characters, Glory is a triumph, a far future epic of humanity in space to set beside the works of Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson.
