Synopsis

Singapore's first science fiction novel Highly Commended for Fiction in English: NBDCS Awards 1986 "Set in the 23rd century, Star Sapphire is about a young Asiatic scientist and her adventures as a crew member of a massive intergalactic passenger starship called the Star Sapphire . The author has sketched a sensitive, fetching character in almond-eyed, black-haired Yva. The story is well-crafted…reads very smoothly…and the SF concepts sound right and logical. A stellar maiden effort!" — New Sunday Times " Star Sapphire is excellent entertainment, wholly absorbing, well-written with a good storyline and narrative pace…handled with wit and ingenuity…creating an extremely convincing fictional world." —Book Awards Committee, National Book Development Council of Singapore "A truly entertaining and highly imaginative fantasy. A must for all ages. It's lively, it's exuberant and it's fun! Stellar adventures abound…with romance thrown in, this book guarantees a whale of a good time." — Signature (Diner's Club Magazine) "I read Star Sapphire on the plane back to Bangkok. I thought it lively and full of invention." —Frederik Pohl, multiple Hugo Award winner
