So how is it that, in competition with the worst villains the universe has to offer, he's become the proud owner of the last seedship of Earth's legendary Ecological Engineering Corps? Never mind, just be thankful that the most powerful weapon in human space is in good hands-hands which now control cellular material for thousands of outlandish creatures.

  • "Recounts the adventures of Haviland Tuf, a space merchant, whose Old Earth Ecological Corps seedship enables him to handle ecological engineering projects."
  • "Haviland Tuf es un ser curioso: un mercader independiente de gran corpulencia, calvo y con la piel blanca como el hueso. Es vegetariano, bebe montones de cerveza, como demasiado y le encantan los gatos. Además, es honesto. Tuf logra poseer una enorme nave espacial, el Arca, la única superviviente del antiguo Cuerpo de Ingeniería de la Vieja Tierra. El Arca es un artilugio desaparecido hace más de mil años, pero que revive gracias a Tuf y sus gatos. A lo largo de los siete relatos que conforman este libro, Tuf consigue la nave, la repara y resuelve un sinfín de problemas espaciales con la ayuda de la ingeniería ecológica, una profesión que él recupera y a la que añade la impronta de su personalidad, astucia e ironía."
  • "Haviland Tuf is an honest space-trader, one of the few, and he likes cats. So how is it that, despite being up against the worst villains in the universe, he has become the proud owner of the last working seedship, pride of Earth's Ecological Engineering Corps? We'll leave that aside for now - just be thankful that the most powerful weapon in space is in good hands, hands which now control cellular material for thousands of outlandish creatures. With his unique equipment and powerful spacecraft, Tuf is set to tackle the myriad problems that human settlers have created during their colonisation of far flung worlds."@en
  • "Ökoingenieur Haviland Tuf steht vor einer kaum zu bewältigenden Aufgabe: Die Rettung der Menschheit Die Menschheit hat sich in den unendlichen Weiten des Weltalls ausgebreitet. Überall sind neue Siedlungen entstanden, und jede Welt birgt neue Gefahren. Als der interplanetarische Händler Haviland Tuf eines der letzten Saatschiffe der Erde erwirbt, beginnt seine Odyssee quer durch den Weltraum. Eine Odyssee, auf der Haviland Tuf vom einfachen Händler zum gefeierten Retter der Menschheit wird ... Mit Planetenwanderer beweist George R. R. Martin, dass er wie kein Zweiter die Fantastik mit dem Realismus zu vermählen versteht. George R. R. Martin, 1948 in Bayonne/New Jersey geboren, veröffentlichte seine ersten Kurzgeschichten im Jahr 1971 und gelangte damit in der Science-Fiction-Szene zu frühem Ruhm. Gleich mehrfach wurde ihm der renommierte Hugo Award verliehen. Danach arbeitete er in der Produktion von Fernsehserien, etwa als Dramaturg der TV-Serie 'Twilight Zone', ehe er 1996 mit einem Sensationserfolg auf die Bühne der Fantasy-Literatur zurückkehrte: Sein mehrteiliges Epos 'Das Lied von Eis und Feuer' wird einhellig als Meisterwerk gepriesen. George R. R. Martin lebt in Santa Fe, New Mexico."

Be glad he is honest."
