Ports of Call (1997) and Lurulu (2004) are Jack Vance’s final novels, following the travels of Myron Tany aboard a freighter visiting ports across the Gaean Reach. The books are picaresque adventures in Vance’s classic style, with each port of call offering a new society to observe.

Lurulu, published when Vance was 88, is a relaxed, episodic novel that serves as a fond farewell to his science fiction universe. The two books together capture the pleasure of exploration and novelty that runs through all of Vance’s work.
