| Summary | "Voyage to Far N'jurd" by Kris Neville is a science fiction novel that was first published in the early 1960s. Set aboard a spaceship, the narrative explores the ritualistic culture aboard as the crew anticipates a significant event referred to as the "Festival of the Casting Off." The story delves into themes of duty, societal norms, and the complexities of human relationships in the context of a deeply stratified space society. The story follows the lives of the spaceship’s crew as they prepare for this pivotal festival, which involves a unique and grim form of social recreation known as "Casting Off." Crew members express their frustrations and desires concerning their fates, as the roles they play intertwine personal aspirations with deeply ingrained traditions. The captain grapples with his responsibilities and the weight of expectation, while the priest, Father Nestir, navigates a series of humorous yet profound interactions with the crew concerning duty and companionship. As the festival approaches, personal conflicts arise, revealing the underlying tensions among the characters, leading to unexpected outcomes and moral dilemmas during the ritualistic events that ensue.
