β¦ Synopsis
Babel-17 is the novel which catapulted Samuel R. Delany into the front rank of SF writers. In the far future, after human civilization has spread through the galaxy, communications begin to arrive in an apparently alien language. They appear to threaten invasion, but in order to counter the threat, the messages must first be understood. Babel-17, winner of the Nebula Award for best novel of the year, is a fascinating tale of a famous poet bent on deciphering a secret language that is the key to the enemyβs deadly force, a task that requires she travel with a splendidly improbable crew to the site of the next attack.
