Description
Curiosity was discouraged in the Greene tribe. Its members lived out their lives in cramped Quarters, hacking away at the encroaching ponics. As to where they were - that was forgotten.
When Roy Complain loses his wife, he decides to find out. With the renegade priest Marapper, he moves into unmapped territory, where they make a series of discoveries which turn their universe upside-down. Is their world really a world at all, or just a container moving between worlds...?
NON-STOP is the classic SF novel of discovery and exploration. 'Fascinating' Observer

A splendid piece of imagination ... some really frightening happenings * Yorkshire Post *
Our ablest SF writer * Guardian *
NON-STOP was one of the first sf novels I read, and it haunts me to this day. Its gritty reality and wonderful list of characters make the setting seem so immediate and palpable, you can almost taste it -- Greg Bear
Brilliant ... a classic of the field * Encyclopedia of Science Fiction *
