From Handbook of the Inhabited Worlds "Big Planet lies beyond the frontier of terrestrial law, and has been settled by groups impatient with restraint non-conformists, anarchists, fugitives, religious dissidents, misanthropes, deviants, freaks. Big Planet represents for us that tantalizing vision of the land beyond the frontier where bravery, resource and daring are more important than the mastery of urban abstractions. Who can deem this good or bad? Who can define justice, or correctness or truth? Big Planet is in essence a problem to which there exists no solution".Shipmasters who run the magnificent showboats along the rivers of Big Planet know that each port has unique character and sensitivities. Apollon Zamp and Garth Ashgale are adept at dodging danger; two of the wiliest rascals in the business, they are deadly rivals to boot. When Zamp sets out to compete at the Grand Festival at Mornune, he knows Ashgale is never far behind!

The Magnificent Showboats of the Lower Vissel River Lune XXIII South Big Planet eBook Jack Vance Reviews
This novel is sometimes labeled as a sequel to Big Planet, but they are only connected by a shared setting. You can read them in any order.
This book is a treat for people who love Vance's picaresque world building and sense of theatrics. A troupe of performers wander through bizarre societies on a showboat. This is a solid entry in Vance's catalogue, and one he clearly enjoyed writing.
A good book by Jack Vance, though not quite as much fun as "Big Planet," which is set on the same world. Note that I've also seen this published as "Showboat World."
Anyone who loves Jack Vance will enjoy this tale.
Great writing style. Huge vocabulary. One of SF's greatest writers
Vance is awesome!
Classic Jack Vance! One of his best using Big Planet as the setting.
Jack Vance has written an engrossing story. He creates an unusual world with characters who interact in intriguing ways.
