REDSHIFT RENDEZVOUS. New York: Ace Books, [1990]. Octavo, boards. First hardcover edition. A murder takes place in space on a faster-than-light starship. "More impressive than any of these [Stith's earlier SF mystery novels] is REDSHIFT RENDEZVOUS (1990) set on a faster-than-light starship traveling through a version of hyperspace in which the speed of light is so slow (22 mph [35 kph]) that its passage is visible. Within this intriguingly presented environment, a murder mystery, a hijack and other events occur; but the appeal of the novel lies in the playing-out of the concept -- or thought experiment -- at its heart." - Clute and Nicholls (eds), The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1993), p. 1168. "The background is all, in this kind of story: carefully extrapolated hard SF by an author who knows his science." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 300. Issued by the Science Fiction Book Club. A fine copy in nearly fine dust jacket with touch of rubbing at edges. (#154041).
