Starfarers #2
Transition
When the U.S. government tried to claim the research ship Starfarer for the military, the crew risked all to hijack her. They did manage to escape... with a nuclear missile embedded in the hull. Yet, they kept to their original mission of searching out alien civilizations in deep space. Now they have received a strange transmission near the planet Tau Ceti III.
Meanwhile, the damage done by the missile seems minor compared to the trouble with Arachne—the bioelectronic entity that controls all of Starfarer's communications functions—still recovering from sabotage. As the alien contact team struggles to decipher the first verifiable extraterrestrial message, the transmissions cut off abruptly. Worse, the hyperstrings the ship uses for interstellar travel are suddenly unraveling and moving away at unprecedented speeds.
The crew must choose: Declare the mission a failure and return to Earth, or follow the aliens into unknown territory with the saboteur still hidden aboard—and risk being stranded forever.

Very Star Trek, mostly in good ways. Well-intentioned but imperfect characters woven together in a generally optimistic and somewhat naive story. The complexities lay more in the studies of human nature than slowly revealed details of the mystery saboteur. Although the truth about galactic civilization is yet to be clarified, perhaps all is not so civilized after all.

Vonda N. McIntyre yra gana žinoma JAV fantastikos rašytojų tarpe, tačiau ši knyga man nebuvo viena iš geriausių kūrinių. Labai daug sumaltų fantastikos elementų - ir atominės bombos sprogimas, ir kontaktas su kita civilizacija ir sąmokslo teorijos. Tokia truputį košė. Labai gaila, kad, leidžiant Pasaulinės fantastikos aukso fondo knygas, nebuvo laikomąsį knygų serijų principo. Ši knyga yra serijos Starfarers antroji dalis. O kitų tiesiog nėra

The Starfarer and its attendant exploration craft Chi have transitioned from Earth space to Tau Ceti III using the vibration of cosmic strings in order to track an alien signal. The ship had been fired upon just before transition and a nuclear warhead went along for the ride and entered Tau Ceti space first. This may have unsettled the senders of the signal because when the Starfarer arrives there is no sign of any alien presence on the moon of Tau Ceti III’s planet which they call Sea. A dome on the moon self-destructs upon entry and they are left with just a hint of where the alien ship might have transitioned to. Compounding the problems is the fact that the shipboard AI - Arachne - had been sabotaged on their first transition and it is now almost certain that the saboteur is still on board. As the Starfarer transitions into Sirius space to find a reception committee of humans, a second sabotage occurs. The possibility of stranding seems more likely as the cosmic strings are being withdrawn from the system and a contact seems inevitable. Vonda McIntyre has continued her saga and while this book can be enjoyed without reading the first I would recommend you read Starfarers first.

It took me a long time to get around to reading this sequel to Starfarers - which unfortunately I also have yet to do. I have always appreciated Ms McIntyre's writing but sadly this offering fell somewhat short in my estimation. Part of the problem is being a sequel, the story is highly dependent on the previous installment. There are a multitude of characters with a host of other individuals just out of sight inside the starship. The primary characters lay flat on the page despite many attempts to breathe life into them. Streamlining the points of view and focusing on the critical issues facing the members of the expedition (the difference between crew, scientists, and passengers was never made clear) might have made for a sharper story. The science, technology, innovations, inventions are intriguing as is the setting inside the ship. Yet the story wanders a lot until it approaches the climax marking the end of this volume and signaling another to follow.

The followup to Starfarers sees our researchers, in their sort-of-stolen ship, arrive at the Tau Ceti system. Unfortunately, they bring along with them a nuclear warhead which had been fired at them from Earth. When the bomb explodes, the ship makes a narrow escape, but is damaged...
And a saboteur may also be on board.
Tau Ceti shows thrilling signs of alien civilisation - but has 'Starfarer''s disorganized and violent arrival destroyed their hopes of peaceful contact?

The criticism of this book was it was "too Star Trek". But I like Star Trek.

[Call it 3.5 stars]
“Transition� asks an important question: what if you meet the utopian high-tech galactic society, and it turns out to be full of jerks? To be fair, we only meet two members of said society, but they are pretty big jerks, and since they are official representatives of the larger group it seems pretty plausible that it is full of jerks as well. After all, sapient nature being what it is, why should’t high-tech utopians look down on the representatives of a less enlightened race? But although achieving this meeting was the Starfarer’s mission, it’s of secondary importance in the book itself. McIntyre mainly concentrates on keeping the level of suspense up: a saboteur lurks on board the Starfarer, a mysterious illness strikes Stephen Thomas, there is constant tension on board the Starfarer between those who want to continue the mission and those who want to return home to Earth, the mission itself is not (for most of the book) working out too great, and the cosmic string that allows the ship to move between the stars may not be as reliable as it was thought to be. In the course of following these various story threads, McIntyre juggles a lot of characters, mostly successfully: I even developed a sneaking sympathy for Gerald Hemminge, the vice-chancellor and leader of the return-to-Earth party, who, though a bit of an ass, has a lot to put up with. However, on occasion the strain of maintaining contact with a dozen or so significant characters starts to show, in the form of short summaries inserted, not particularly subtly, into the action. Also, I felt that the way that the saboteur plotline was resolved was poor: pinning the blame on somebody who we basically knew nothing about strikes me as a cop-out, though perhaps the later books will shed more light on him and his motivations. But mostly, McIntyre keeps you moving through the book well, and though not all her ideas make sense, they are mostly interesting.

This is the second in McIntyre’s Starfarer series.
In it the spaceship Starfarer has ridden a line of cosmic string to the solar system of Tau Ceti. Unfortunately the nuclear bomb sent after it by the US Government to prevent the voyage has gone off partly damaging the ship but also scaring off the inhabitants at Tau Ceti II. In addition something, probably sabotage, has crashed the Starfarer>’s operating system, Arachne, so that the crew and passengers can no longer interact with it.
The survey team sent down to Tau Ceti II’s moon to investigate the dome there is disappointed when the dome collapses as soon as they try to enter it. Only one small artifact is salvaged. Unlike our solar system Tau Ceti is inundated with cosmic string but these are beginning to drift away and no further exploration of the apparently hospitable Tau Ceti II is possible. The choice is between meekly returning to Earth or following the tantalising glimpse of an alien ship fleeing their arrival.
A jump to Sirius is undertaken where they are pursued by a small blue replica of Earth. This turns out to be the ship which had fled Tau Ceti but Starfarer has somehow outpaced it. The aliens on it transpire to be descendants of humans plucked from Earth millennia ago and frustratingly unforthcoming about galactic civilisation.
Also in the mix here is the internal politics on board Starfarer, the search for the saboteur and the unusual relationships structures to be found in this future.
Transition is interesting but is the second in a four book series so not much is resolved.

Transitions is the second book in the Starfarers series by Vonda N. McIntyre.
My mother was an avid reader who loved a variety of genres- Thrillers and Sci-fi being her top picks. It's been a few years since my mother passed away- and I have been slowly working my way through her extensive book collection as my way of paying tribute, and a way of keeping her close.
I have read this series before, but enjoyed the setting of on this adventure again.
Full review to come.
Happy Reading...

I enjoyed Transition far more than Starfarers. While still being pretty slow paced, in a style I think McIntyre must have preferred, it picked up nicely after you pass halfway, and I flew through it. I found myself rooting for and appreciating almost all of the main cast, even the grumpy ones. I'm excited to see how/ if they become a more cohesive community.
Basically, it was a fun, relatively laid-back read.

This was a worthwhile read. On LT I gave it 3.5 stars. I like how McIntyre takes time to tell the story allowing the characters to digest the plot elements as they unfold and develop the relationships among them. I hadn’t planned to read the next two in this quartet, Metaphase and Nautilus, but I think it may be necessary now so I can find out what happens to these starfarers.

Oh my fluffy gato this is a tantalizing story! My review for the first book pretty much carries over to this one, though now it's all in the process of exploration, with all the joy and frustration that entails.

More bickering.
Read this book if you want to know why it might be a bad idea to be in a relationship with the people you work with on a daily basis. The aliens are interesting. The "alien contact team" is obnoxious.

best first contact series I've ever read

More action, intrigue, politics, and fallout from a murder. Finally, an alien contact that is and isn't alien. It's hard to put down.

Thanks to the creative intimate scenes I’ve got lasting memories of this book!
Great read!

This book hurt me. I'm going back in for more. I guess that means it was a good hurt. I'm still interested in finding out what J. D. finds out.

Vonda N. McIntyre just wasn't a very good writer. Her characters all feel as though they think, speak, and act as the author herself might have. While they do have their own traits (sometimes forced), they lack a distinct voice. An analogy would be a shoddy puppet show put on by a lone puppeteer who can only do one voice. As with the first book, the story doesn't go anywhere. Chapter 10 is very messy, and it only gets worse from there. The few plot "twists" can be seen from a light year away.
Thanthavong is a world-renowned geneticist. Stephen Thomas is also a geneticist. She knows he is infected with an unidentified virus (as does he). Yet when he returns to the ship, she hugs him along with the four people that have been exposed to him. To make the scene even more ironic, this is how it's written: "The Nobel laureate hugged [insert name, etc.]..."
Just when I thought Chandra couldn't get any more stupid, she asks to be left behind (permanently) on Tau Ceti II. Her very flawed reasoning: "It would be great... God, there would be material there to work with that nobody else has ever imagined, let alone experienced!" and, "Space is boring, I didn't know it would be boring." This woman only has so much storage space in her head, so she would eventually have to transfer the data elsewhere. Not to mention the fact that she would have absolutely nobody to sell her experiences to...
We still never see the chancellor! Does he even exist?

good sequel to Starfarers.....now I have to find the 3rd in the series....
March 22, 2025
Interesting to see a author I know mostly for Star Trek, writing about space exploration in a very 'not Star Trek' way.
The tech is more limited, and they are more an ensemble than a team.
I like the ideas and the cast, but McIntyre has trouble juggling both and it results in a vaguely unsatisfying read.
Maybe plot threads will be resolved in the next book, maybe the idea is life is messy. Either way it results in a frustrating jumble of a story.
It doesn't help that when we finally deal with the saboteur and finally encounter some aliens, they turn out to be some of the weakest parts of the book.
I don't hate this series, but I don't think I like it enough to track down book three.

McIntyre's characters remain multi-layered and engaging. The complex relationships between them, and the politics of the starship community, carry the story along at a brisk pace and make the book hard to put down.
Which is good, because the actual spacefaring plot proceeds at a glacial pace, as it did in the first book. I'm beginning to think that the Starfarers Quartet is better viewed as a single long work, divided in four parts, rather than four separate books; I suspect that it's best to expect no real resolution of the search for alien civilization before the end of book 4.

Sadly, Vonda McIntyre very recently passed out, while I was reading this book. 😢
A great second part of the Starfarers series. The plot holds quite a few surprises, both cool and unpleasant, and solves at least one mystery left from the first part. Unexpected new characters change the scope of the story but are also kind of underwhelming, compared to the rising expectations. The main characters are the same as in the first part, they work together, fight together, go through different pains and suffer some losses together. Looking forward to the third one.

Huh. The ideas are there. The characters are varied and appealing. The politics are interesting, if dated by their rooting in the late Cold War era. I just don't find McIntyre's writing style here all that compelling. I think I'm going to finish out the series, just because there's so much that's worth liking outside the prose, but I haven't yet gotten a sense of why Ursula Le Guin called this the most important science fiction series being written at the time.

Ebook. Like the title, this installment seems transitional, simply moving the story along from the previous to the next. The first and last parts are the most interesting, the most "sci-fi." I'm annoyed that a fairly prominent - if not primary - character was killed off, but I have a thought about that and will be curious to see if it comes true in the next books.

Really enjoyed this; good continuation of the story. A lot happens, some of it heartbreaking, some of it fascinating (will Stephen Thomas really keep going the way he's going?). Looking forward to finding out if this intrepid crew can turn around the initial impression they gave to the greater "civilization" out there.

Hacía tiempo que no me enganchaba tanto a una historia. Ayer tuve que dejar de leer poco antes del final y me pasé la tarde dándole vueltas hasta que pude retomarla.
No puedo decir mucho sin spoilers, pero me tiene fascinada. El comportamiento y las interacciones de un grupo de humanos en una nave, la búsqueda del primer contacto, la política terrestre afectando a las decisiones de todos.

Three and a half stars. Definitely interested in the sequel & perhaps the prequel (which I might have read once but forgotten).
Really liked the fact that there were so many women who were defined first of all by their professional roles on the ship, including the first two characters we meet.
