  One time while browsing at a book store I came across this book with a hideous yellow cover titled Vast. I guess it was a successful tactic for the cover designer since I did pick up the book, found the blurb intriguing, and was completely hooked by the opening pages that described how the captain of the Null Boundary kept himself from being bored by year after year of sublight interstellar travel, while also hinting at many of the wonders in her complex, original, and unsettling vision of the future.

  Oh, that name. The Null Boundary is one of the aptest names for a starship I've ever seen in SF. I find it mildly amusing that a Wikipedia search for "Null Boundary" now gives you a hit for Vast before anything relating to relativity......
