"On the distant planet Hro B'rana, the last words of a dying man echo through the halls of a run-down trading station. Nearly three hundred years later, a group of fortune seekers embark on a mission to unravel the mystery of the fabled Plague Star aboard a rickety trade ship called The Cornucopia of Excellent Goods at Low Prices. But their journey will be far more perilous than any of them could have imagined--who will survive this deadly quest and battle it out for the final prize? A darkly comic meditation on our future as a species, Voyaging, Volume 1: The Plague Star is a sci-fi adventure story of intrigue, greed, deception, and of course... cats. Adapted and vividly illustrated by Hugo Award-nominated artist Raya Golden, this thrilling and action-packed graphic novel brings the first story from #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin's classic collection Tuf Voyaging to life."--Publisher.
