| Summary: | Only seven Nationals have won Hero Colours and fine sandships from the rival tribes that rule Australia a thousand years from now. We join the Blue Captain, Tom Tyson, and his crew aboard the magnificent kite-drawn charvolant Rynosseros as he strives to discover his true identity in a world of strange and dangerous desert states, orbiting battle stations, mind war and the most bizarre terraforming and genetic experiments imaginable. We travel with Tom to the islands of the Inland Sea, to the great fighting ground of the Air, to deserted carnivals, haunted artists' colonies, fire-chess contests and the abandoned arcologies of the interior, all while searching for clues to the meaning of the three signs he carries with him from his time in the Madhouse. That is the great mystery here, and Tom's search to discover who he is, and why he has come to be in this place at this time is one of the most memorable journeys in modern fantastic fiction. The first volume of The complete Rynosseros is the first two collections in the saga, Rynosseros and Blue Tyson, together with the novella "The Library" and the never before collected "Marmordesse," presented in the intended reading order for the first time. The second presents the third and fourth collections in the adventures of the Blue Captain, Twilight Beach and Rynemonn, adding the previously uncollected story "Down Flowers" to the line-up, and featuring "Calling Down the Sun," a brand-new Tom adventure written exclusively for this edition. In the third companion volume, author Terry Dowling discusses the origins and development of every story in the classic saga of the Blue Captain. |
