Myron Tany captains a space yacht owned by his flamboyant great-aunt on an interstellar hunt for a clinic rumored to restore youth.

A disagreement with Dame Hester leaves Myron stranded on a distant planet, and he signs on as crew aboard the tramp freighter Glicca. With Captain Maloof, Chief Steward Wingo, and Engineer Fay Schwatzendale, Myron travels the exotic worlds of the Gaean Reach.

Jack Vance shapes a picaresque tale of adventure, romance, humor, and youth’s eternal yearning to see the wonders that lie beyond the horizon.

– Matthew Hughes

Ports of Call is Volume 59 of the Spatterlight Press Signature Series, and the first half of the Ports of Call / Lurulu sequence. Released in the centenary of the author's birth, this handsome new collection is based upon the prestigious Vance Integral Edition. Select volumes enjoy up-to-date maps, and many are graced with freshly-written forewords contributed by a distinguished group of authors. Each book bears a facsimile of the author's signature and a previously-unpublished photograph, chosen from family archives for the period the book was written. These unique features will be appreciated by all, from seasoned Vance collector to new reader sampling the spectrum of this author's influential work for the first time.

– John Vance II

5,0 von 5 Sternen you guys are missing the point!
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 26. Mai 1999
Jack Vance is one of the premier stylists writing in America today, the best in SciFi. Plot is secondary in his stories, merely a minimum requirement of the novel form. If SciFi were not Vances's chosen form, he would win every writing award worth winning. But I am afraid that he doomed to be read by people who can not understand Vance's approach and never to be read by those who can-because of the genre. Vance is always an entertaining read and a thoughtful one. Sign me-just a fan.

4,0 von 5 Sternen Actually its rather good!
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 22. Januar 2000
There's been a lot of negative comments about this book but I genuinely believe its among his best. Jack Vance doesn't write like any other Fantasy/Science-fiction author today. He's the last of a dying breed. I recently read the Gray Mouser stories and I was struck by how similar in tone these stories were to the stories of Jack Vance. Complex, richly detailed but they paled in comparison. The thing that has always made Jack Vance stand out from the crowd is the beauty of his language and his situations. This book is the epitomy of a Jack Vance novel-dark, macabre, funny and haunting. Not many people still read his books which is a shame because he is the orginal of so many things. I recommend 'Ports of Call' wholeheartedly.

5,0 von 5 Sternen A masterly demonstration of Vance at his very best.
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 12. September 1998
Anyone who has read Vance will find their appetite whetted from the first page - and their hope raised. Could this be an even better book from the master, rather than just something from the fringe of an illustrious career? Yes, it is as good as his very best, joining Emphyrio, the Blue World, Wyst, the Cugel and Lyonnesse books. A treat. Long may he write!

4,0 von 5 Sternen An Homage to P.G. Wodehouse
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 21. März 2000
As in Space Opera (my least favorite Vance book), Jack is playing in "Wodehousian Space," and I want to see this ambition work, for the sake of both these wonderful literary stylists. I think with a sequel it still can. PoC is not a long book. It's obviously just part of the real book. But the thing is tricky to do. Let's hope Jack has the insight and encouragement to bring it off.

3,0 von 5 Sternen Not Jack Vance's best
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 15. März 2000
I agree with those who say that this is not Jack Vance's best work. But my main concern here is the Booklist Review. Did they even read the book? The review is factually incorrect. Myron was the captain of his aunt's ship before she fired him, but not the captain of the Glicca.

4,0 von 5 Sternen Enjoying but a meandering plot
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 14. April 1999
I enjoyed the book enormously - it contains many amusing situations and witty conversations. I felt that it was more original than several of his latest books but not up to the level of his best. The plot seemed to start out strongly then meandered off, got lost and ended suddenly. Presumably there are more books following Ports of Call. Hopefully, Jack Vance will enjoy good health and continue writing.

3,0 von 5 Sternen Poorly Organized
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 30. Juni 1998
Jack starts this one on the money. It promises to be vintage Vance - well developed character and interesting plot. Sadly, he stumbles mid-way through and never gets back on course. Nice book, where's the rest of it?

4,0 von 5 Sternen Mellowest book ever from Vance.
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 14. Juli 1998
Having read every book Vance has ever penned, I found this one refreshing in that it didn't follow the classic format -- you know: introduction, dilemna, struggle, resolution and epilogue. This was more like a floating adventure with a new thing to see around every corner. Not much in the way of bad guys, but I found the good guys appealing and obvious amalgams of past Vancian characters. You just know this one has a sequel coming!

5,0 von 5 Sternen Half of a Masterpiece
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 6. Oktober 2012
Verifizierter Kauf
Jack Vance excelled at what I call "Travelog Science Fiction" wherein the protagonist travels to exotic planets in far-flung star systems having action-filled adventures in beautifully detailed exotic cultures while enduring mediocre hotels, vile resturant meals and surly waitstaff. Ports of Call is one of his better efforts in this genre, exceeded only by his Demon Princes series.

The problem is that Ports of Call is really the first half of a novel which is completed in Lurulu. Ports of Call is available in Kindle Format--Lurulu is not. This is quite frustrating. I don't understand decisions of this nature, but then again I've never been accused of being a businessman.

5,0 von 5 Sternen The Master of Science Fantasy
Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 20. Mai 2002
Verifizierter Kauf
I've been reading Jack Vance's books for more years than I care to remember and at one time or another have owned nearly his whole collection. I recommend the Planet of Adventure series and the Dying Earth series, the latter, being my personal favourites, perfectly show-off Mr Vance's wicked and whimsical sense of humour; for example, the man who has four fathers due to a magic spell, cast by the Laughing Magician, which caused four his enemies to have to share certain body parts. He blows Terry Pratchett way out of the water and did it many years before Mr Pratchett came onto the scene. Jack Vance's use of language and dialogue his beyond compare and I am constantly on the look-out for his latest novel. Now in his 80s I feel he is seriously overlooked. If Mr Vance is amenable, there is some excellent material for a film. John Cleese as Cugel the Clever, perhaps?
Ports of Call is by no means his best but, hey, it's Jack Vance and it demands to be read.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Essential for any Jack Vance fan
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 26. September 2020

Ports of Call and it's sequel, Lurulu, provide a contiguous plot and also many little sub-stories, and is altogether very entertaining. Each chapter is written in classic Jack Vance style, ranging from the absurd to the sublime.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Fabulous adventures of ordinary teenagers
Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 12. August 2022
Verifizierter Kauf
Jack Vance's stories are exciting, often amusing and always gripping. His English is superb and, I think, would painlessly and entertainly raise GCSE grades far more than the boring "classics" I had to plough through in the 1950s.
