JAMES BLISH - THE SEEDLING STARS(1975) / THE QUINCUNX OF TIME(1975) / CITIES IN FLIGHT

THE SEEDLING STARS - A collection of Adapted Man stories. - You didn't make an Adapted Man with just a wave of the wand. It involved an elaborate constellation of techniques, known collectively as pantropy, that changed the human pattern in a man's shape and chemistry before he was born. And the pantropists didn't stop there. Education, thoughts, ancestors and the world itself were changed, because the Adapted Men were produced to live and thrive in the alien environments found only in space. They were crucial to a daring plan to colonize the universe.

THE QUINCUNX OF TIME - (A book in the Haertel Scholium series) - Earth is Queen of the Universe, but someone is trying to destroy her.By shattering time forever! Travel at light speeds is common, & Earth is first in the universe, reigning over many worlds. But in order to rule effectively, Captain Robin Weinbaum, head of Security, needed an extremely advanced communications s ystem. He got it w/the Dirac transmitter, the first machine capable of sending instantaneous messages anywhere in the universe. The only problem was that someone called J. Shelby Stevens had a machine that could do the impossible--tap the transmissions before they were even made! It was Weinbaum's job to find Stevens. And unless he did, time would be abolished & the universe closed to Earth forever!
