ThI listened to this book on a playaway from the library and it was quite good. It is up to intersteller saboteurs to stop her... Yeah, it's a damned weird book.The attraction of SF books is that they are like telescopes, looking at some point into the far future. I wanted to reread it for pleasure, to confirm my memories of the book. 0425099628 The ball of gas in question is actually a life-form called a Caleban, which exists on another plane or dimension of existence, and I'm still not quite clear as to why the character actually has a thing for whipping the creature. Overall, a decent to good story and some very good writing, especially in the conversations between the human and alien characters. The "chairdog" mentioned on page 67 is also mentioned in multiple "Dune" novels; both the original series by Frank Herbert as well as the extended series by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. In a universe made smaller by instantaneous travel, a mystery unfolds as the creatures who make such travel possible are disappearing. Abnethe has an insane sadistic streak, but a court-mandated Clockwork-Orange-style conditioning session leaves her unable to tolerate the suffering of others. It's a space detective story, but for me the best parts were the interspecies interactions. Thing is, if that thing dies under the perverse ministrations of the galactic dominatrix who is whipping it, everyone who has ever traveled using this creature (basically every sentient being in the galaxy) will die.I listened to this book on a playaway from the library and it was quite good. The few good ideas which seem to be floating around the book never break their way out of the background and ultimately go unexplored by a book which seems simultaneously too short and abounding with verbiage.A galactic dominatrix flogs the last living member of a species that makes real-time travel across light-years possible.
October 15th 1986 It would be interesting to get into his works out of Dune beacuse that was long and tiring after a while, so i might look into his other books when the library re-opens.

Parts of it were pretty humorous, intentionally or not. However, I say Welcome back.
I enjoyed it quite a lot. This sentient being has entered into a binding contract with a woman in order to learn about life in our dimension.

I had started reading "The Dosadi Experiment," and realized that it was not the first book in the McKie (Saboteur Extraordinary) series. I always sort of imagine Dune springing forth fully-formed from his head, but it’s obvious just from reading this that he had a career as a sci fi author, and that much of the work he published was simply not of the same caliber. The title "Whipping Star", I thought, was going to have some fascinating metaphorical meaning, but nope, it actually involves someone using a leather whip on a shining bright ball of gas in space. Jorj X. McGie of the Bureau of Sabotage (BuSab), an agency responsible for slowing down a hyper-efficient universal government, is specifically called to investigate. This 1970 novel is the first full novel in the ConSentiency universe, which up to this point consisted of only two short stories.

They aren't hemmed in by the here and now, instead, in that tiny piece of glass at the very end, you get to see myriad possibilities tinted with a hint of reality, with some futures, of course, being far more realistic than others. I will definitely re-read it someday. A bunch of nonsense mathematical sounding terms get thrown aThis book probably only deserves one star.

Herbert gives a crisis, which seems completely unmotivated, like the actions of most of the characters, that you just can't seem to care about. It's really bad in some respects and pretty much the paragon of bad science fiction. As all Calebans are connected, if all were to remain in our existence, when Fannie Mae died, all Calebans would die.

Whipping Star (ConSentiency Universe #1) Suddenly - the end of all life throughout the entire Galaxy! Whipping Star is an interesting introduction to some of the background to the world of the Dosadi Experiment, and the universe of creatures that populate it.
