Haviland Tuf
George R. R. Martin · 3 novellas · 4 novelettes · 1 short story · 1 collection · 1976–1986
Haviland Tuf is a reclusive, cat-loving trader who stumbles into ownership of an abandoned seedship, an ancient bioengineering vessel able to clone and deploy almost any lifeform, and starts hiring himself out to worlds with ecological problems only his impossible technology can fix. George R. R. Martin's Tuf Voyaging fixes up several novellas into one darkly comic book about environmentalism and the corrupting pull of near-absolute power, set in Martin's loosely connected Thousand Worlds universe.
