This is a collection of stories in the series about encapsulated “shell people” - children who are raised and put in control of spaceships and given other tasks. When in a spaceship, serving as its brain, they are partnered with normal humans who are called “brawns”. Because of their nature and training they can live very long lives and perform tasks impossible for other humans.
