Publisher Description: <b>Long before <i>A Game of Thrones</i> became an international phenomenon<i>, </i> #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author George R. R. Martin had taken his loyal readers across the cosmos. Now back in print after almost ten years, <i>Tuf Voyaging</i> is the story of quirky and endearing Haviland Tuf, an unlikely hero just trying to do right by the galaxy, one planet at a time.</b><br> <b> </b><br> Haviland Tuf is an honest space-trader who likes cats. So how is it that, in competition with the worst villains the universe has to offer, he's become the proud owner of a seedship, the last remnant of Earth's legendary Ecological Engineering Corps? Never mind; just be thankful that the most powerful weapon in human space is in good hands--hands which now have the godlike ability to control the genetic material of thousands of outlandish creatures. <p/> Armed with this unique equipment, Tuf is set to tackle the problems that human settlers have created in colonizing far-flung worlds: hosts of hostile monsters, a population hooked on procreation, a dictator who unleashes plagues to get his own way . . . and in every case, the only thing that stands between the colonists and disaster is Tuf's ingenuity--and his reputation as a man of integrity in a universe of rogues. <p/><b>"A rich blend of adventure, humor, compassion and all the other things that make being human worthwhile."--<i>Analog</i></b><br> <b> </b><br> <b>"A new facet of Martin's manysided talent."--<i>Asimov's</i></b>
