Charles A. Sheffield fue un matemático, físico y autor de ciencia ficción nacido en Inglaterra. Sus obras a menudo profundizan en ambiciosos conceptos científicos y sus implicaciones para la humanidad, mostrando su habilidad para entrelazar complejas ideas científicas en narrativas cautivadoras. Sheffield exploró temas como los viajes interestelares, la inteligencia artificial y el futuro de la civilización humana, todo con una aguda perspicacia y precisión técnica. Su estilo distintivo radica en su reflexivo examen de los principios científicos dentro de historias atractivas que invitan a la reflexión al lector.

Shelby Cheever V is a spoiled brat. He is also the richest kid in the country. Actually, make that the universe. Bored with his all-the-amusements-money-can-buy life, he decides on a bit of interstellar action, Shelby-style. But it turns out life on a starship is not all fun and games. As part of a crew, Shelby has a few things to learn. Like, how to follow orders instead of simply giving orders. Can Shelby learn how to cooperate with his crewmates? He may not have a choice. When Shelby becomes the target of a hostage-for-ransom scheme, he'll need all the help he can get.
