The Man Without a Planet is a science fiction reimagining of the classic tale, The Man Without a Country—Redmonde had found his niche in the glitterships of high society, reveling in the opulence and gamesmanship it afforded, until a sudden regime change leads to his permanent exile in the far reaches of space aboard starships building a network of portals through the cosmos. He will never be allowed to see his home world again and escape would seem to be an impossibility—but when the opportunity presents itself, Redmonde disappears into legend.
“In The Man Without a Planet, David Gerrold has given us an ambitious reinterpretation of a classic. In this engaging science fiction retelling of The Man Without a Country, we find the main character, Redmonde, negotiating the sharp edges of his quarantined banishment in deep space and the intersection of his personal belief system with the sledgehammer of an imposed political ideology.”
