synopsis
The crew of the Invincible investigates the loss of the Condor on Regis III. This is an early Lem novel, but many elements of his later fiction are present: robots and cyberneticist, machine evolution, and mechanical insects. The story is told mostly from the view of Rohan, the first mate and navigator. Rohan is a Lem character prescient of Pilot Pirx---outwardly simple and down to earth, but with the necessary wits to get the job done.
