Description
H. Beam Piper wrote Genesis as a feature novelette of lost worlds, first run in Future combined with Science Fiction Stories in September 1951. Piper asks whether a proud old race met its end, or its start, on a far planet, and whether gaps in man's past hide such a tale.
Aboard a great ship, a thousand colonists sleep, play, and work while the vessel bears them to Tareesh. Kalvar Dard, the army officer who will lead them, plans landings and guards morale as the disc of the new world grows. The tale is brisk, thoughtful science fiction, a fine sample of Piper's work on lost colonies and new worlds.
