Cluster (novels)
''Cluster'' is a series of science fiction novels by Piers Anthony. Anthony originally conceived of and wrote the series as a trilogy but later added two additional volumes. Setting As the series opens, humanity has colonized an area of the galaxy roughly 100 light years in diameter. This area is called Sphere Sol, as it is the sphere of influence of the race from the star Sol, that is, the Sun. Sphere Sol's "neighborhood" is also home to other spheres, each centered around a particular star: Spheres Polaris, Canopus, Spica, Nath (star), Nath, Mirzam, and Bellatrix as well as the huge, decadent Spheres Gamma Cygni, Sador and Mintaka. In the Cluster setting, races colonize other planets in three ways. The first is through instantaneous teleportation, called ''matter transmission'' or ''mattermission''. This, however, is prohibitively expensive. Second, colonists travel to new worlds in "freezer" ships, where they are Cryonics, cryonically stored for the decades it takes for th ...
