Lines: 21 From: Evan Kirshenbaum Rite_of_Passage isn't strictly about a generation ship as they are not going anywhere, just flitting about between planets. Since I haven't seen a plug for it here in a while: For any one who has not yet read it, it is the finest science fiction work aimed at teenagers ever written (well, it's in the top 5 at least). I first read it in about sixth grade (I think), and I still reread it a couple of times a year (it doesn't take as long now). I've never heard of anyone (any age) who read it and didn't like it (A genuine No-Prize (remember them?) to the first person to correctly predict how many people are going to flood this board with postings rating RoP somewhere under Slavegirl_of_Gor). So if you haven't read it, do yourself a favor (it was just rereleased in paperback so you have no excuse).
