The Enemy Stars follows the crew of a faster-than-light survey ship stranded far from home after their matter-transmission drive is damaged, forced to keep the vessel and each other going across a voyage that will outlast some of them. Poul Anderson's 1959 novel was originally serialized as We Have Fed Our Sea-, a title drawn from Kipling. It stands alone rather than part of a series; David Ryerson is one of the ship's crew.
