SYNOPSIS In the novella, the gigantic, cylindrical Generation Ship ''Vanguard'' is cruising pilotless toward a distant Solar System , inhabited by a crew that has forgotten their origins over time and lapsed into superstition. Most crew members lead a simple bucolic life of Farming , never venturing to the upper decks where the "muties" ( Mutant s or Mutineers ) dwell. One day, Hugh Hoyland starts exploring and finds the astonishing secret of the ship's purpose. The ''Vanguard'' is the sister ship of the ''New Frontiers'', the ship stolen by the Howard families in the story '' Methuselah's Children ''.
