The Peregrine: Difference between revisions

This is a short [[Space Opera]] book by [[Poul Anderson]] written as part of the Psychotechnic History(distinct from the perhaps better known [[Technic History]]) series. Humans are expanding from Earth and forming loosely connected colonies in the unknown. At the far frontiers, the Nomads, an itinerant<!-- should this be "iterate" or "itinerant"? --> race of human traders are meeting at the planet Rendezvous for the Captains council between the captains of each clan/ship. Joachim, captain of ''The Peregrine'' has news. A mysterious and potentially dangerous race has left signs that need to be discovered. He proposed to take his ship for the job. Meanwhile Trevelan, an agent of the Coordination Office or "cordies" from Earth is off to the frontier on the same mission.
