Pubblicato nel 1984, questo libro è un viaggio nello spazio, nelle relazioni interpersonali, nella scienza e nella tecnologia, che ha anticipato molto della fantascienza più recente, e che ha ricevuto importanti attenzioni dalla critica. In un futuro in cui l'esplorazione dello spazio e le tecnologie della modificazione del corpo sono ormai una realtà, il romanzo indaga le nuove forme dei rapporti possibili: affetti, potere, ricerca scientifica e lavoro. Nuovi conflitti e nuovi legami, per la nuova umanità che si sta sviluppando. In Superluminal si intrecciano le vite di tre personaggi, due donne e un uomo: una pilota spaziale che si è fatta impiantare un cuore artificiale per sopravvivere al viaggio più veloce della luce; un colono di un tormentato pianeta alieno che si unisce all'equipaggio di un'astronave scoprendo di possedere straordinarie capacità; una «tuffatrice» che divide il suo tempo fra il cosmo e l'oceano, e che fa parte di una comunità di individui adattati geneticamente alla vita sottomarina, di un gruppo familiare che comprende anche delle balene. Il loro incontro li condurrà nel mare, nello spazio e nell'aria (a bordo di sorprendenti dirigibili), fino a una scoperta che metterà in campo le più avanzate teorie sull'universo.

James T. Kirk ist der jüngste Mann, der in der Geschichte der Föderation zum Captain befördert wird. Seine Crew besteht aus einem Ersten Offizier, der ihn impulsiv findet; einem Chefingenieur, der ihn arrogant findet; einem Chefarzt, der ihn als belanglos empfindet; und einem Steuermann, der einen Versetzungsantrag stellen möchte. Doch die junge Crew, die später zu den legendären Weltraumforschern werden würde, legt schnell ihre Differenzen beiseite, als ein monströses Raumschiff auf ihrem aufkeimenden Flugweg erscheint.

Prinses Leia, Chewbacca en R2-D2 doen op hun tocht langs enkele werelden van de Nieuwe Republiek de planeet Munto Codru aan. Tot Leia’s ontzetting worden haar kinderen – Jacen, Jaina en Anakin – van de planeet ontvoerd. De machthebbers op Munto Codru doen hier aanvankelijk nogal luchtig over. Het zou gaan om een zogenaamde coup-ontvoering, een traditionele manier om aandacht te vragen voor problemen. Leia besluit de zaken echter niet af te wachten en gaat samen met R2-D2 en Chewbacca op zoek naar haar kinderen. Han Solo, niet op de hoogte van de kidnapping, is ondertussen samen met Luke Skywalker en C-3PO naar het afgelegen ruimtestation Crseih afgereisd, daartoe aangezet door een mysterieus bericht dat verband houdt met een verdwenen Jedi. Intussen is de machtige Sith Lord Hethrir bezig met het trainen van een legertje jonge kinderen met Jedi-gaven. Zijn doel is niets minder dan het laten herrijzen van het Rijk...
