About World of Books Ltd West Sussex, United Kingdom
Biblio member since 2007
In 2002, World of Books was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet, and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into a global pioneer, dedicated to helping people read more and waste less. Through the World of Books brand, customers can now buy and sell with us! We provide affordable, preloved books to book lovers all around the world, while also giving people the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet by trading in their unwanted books and media for cash. Through the B2B side of our business we've developed technology to help charities sell in bulk, meaning they can clear much needed floor space and make money for great causes at the same time. A new book will be sold once but their stories can be enjoyed by more than one owner. After all, a story doesn't change because it's been read before!

Summary
‘The Proxima Centauri Expedition, sponsored by the Jordan Foundation in 2119, was the first recorded attempt to reach the nearer stars of this galaxy. Whatever its unhappy fate we can only conjecture...’ A whole society, complete with a strange, savage religion, superstitions, mutant outcasts, rigid class structures and an agricultural barter economy, hurtles through the void. It is an epic voyage whose purpose has been long forgotten. High Hoyland’s innate curiosity impels him to undertake his own voyage of discovery. But he doesn’t realize the implications of the truth about the Ship – his world – until it’s too late to turn back...
