In the mid-1980s, following the disastrous performance of the novel The Armageddon Rag and his move into Hollywood, Martin was convinced to repackage the old stories with several new ones to make a "fix-up" novel, one book formed from several smaller tales. Martin began writing stories about Haviland Tuf in the mid-1970s. Accompanied only his crew of telepathic cats, Tuf sets out on a voyage that will take him to many worlds.and many problems. Fortunately for the galaxy, its new owner is the morally-minded and fussy merchant Haviland Tuf. With its cargo of ferocious beasts and genetically-engineered plagues, the Ark can lay waste to entire star systems.
But one of the Empire's old seedships, the Ark, has been rediscovered.
Most of its amazing technology was lost and the galaxy settled back into a period of decline. A thousand years ago the old Earth Empire collapsed.
