The Smoke Ring
In the free-fall environment of the Smoke Ring (an immense gaseous envelope and neutron star circling a habitable cluster of plants, trees and animals), descendants of the starship Discipline's crew no longer remember their Earth roots or the existence of Sharls Davis Kendy, the computer AI controlling the ship -- until Kendy initiated contact once more, 500 years after the crew whom the half-mad AI calls "mutineers" were abandoned on this strange world (see The Integral Trees).
Fourteen years later only Jeffer, the Citizens Tree "Scientist", knew that Kendy was watching and advising. When Citizens Tree rescues a family of loggers, they learn of the Admiralty, a military organization in a town unknown to Citizens Tree. Jeffer is among those who want to visit the town and the Admiralty, which may have maintained intact Discipline's original computer library. The events following the visit to the town and the subsequent flight from the Admiralty form part of this exciting tale of adventure, danger and courage.
