Five Superb SFF Fix-Up Novels
A celebration of the SFFnal tradition of transforming short works
into more commercially viable novels.
One I read quite some time ago was Starfinder by Robert F Young that
was a fixup of stories that ran in F&SF.
The stories were:
Jonathan and the Space Whale
Star Eel, The
Haute Bourgeoisie
Mindanao Deep, The
As a Man Has a Whale a Love Story
It featured some large living creatures that could travel through space
and time. Humans would get inside and destroy the higher brain
function, to leave a controllable ship. Jonathon is on the job when a
whale communicates with him and convinces him that they should instead
run off together.
The novel was somewhat different, but I don't recall the specifics.
