Martinson's Aniara, K. O'Donnell's Mayflies, M. Leinster's "Proxima Centauri," R. J. Sawyer's Golden Fleece, N. Spinrad's "Riding the Torch," and E. C. Tubb's The Space-born; see under Drama, K.-B. Blomdahl's opera Aniara and at the film ANIARA, the TV series Starlost, and the Star Trek episode "For the World Is Hollow . . . ." Cf. and contrast RAH's later Citizens of the Galaxy (1957), which Sargent (1988; q.v. under Reference) says features space ships which are sovereign states.
