And since Illyrion is the element most needed for space travel, Lorq von Ray is plenty willing to fly through the core of a recently imploded sun in order to obtain seven tons of it. The potential for profit is so great that Lorq has little difficulty cobbling together an alluring crew that includes a gypsy musician and a moon-obsessed scholar interested in the ancient art of writing a novel. What the crew doesn&#8217;t know, though, is that Lorq&#8217;s quest is actually fueled by a private revenge so consuming that he&#8217;ll stop at nothing to achieve it. In the grandest manner of speculative fiction, <b>Nova</b> is a wise and witty classic that casts a fascinating new light on some of humanity&#8217;s oldest truths and enduring myths. 953787 1968 Nova total:417|5:111|4:157|3:114|2:23|1:9| 417 1591 610 44 85863 0375706704 9780375706707 351 40 3.82 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171062756m/85863.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/85863.Nova 2 1 false Thu Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Sat Sep 01 12:49:45 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 01 13:01:13 -0700 2007
