Synopses & Reviews
A saga of cosmic dimensions, acknowledged as the pacesetting science fiction treatment of Einstein's Time-Dilation theory, As mass approaches the speed of light it approaches infinity, and time approaches zero. To the Stars begins with one of the genre's most memorably defining opening lines, Space is deep, Man is small and Time is his relentless enemy. Powerfully encapsulated in its depth and meaning are the challenges and dangers facing the courageous crews of the first deep-space starships traversing the galaxy at nearly the speed of light. For these are the men and women who must sacrifice forever their lives and the familiar world they left behind on Earth to explore the vast light-year mysteries of interstellar space -- exiles, remaining relatively untouched by time as it slows virtually to zero aboard their starship while entire generations and societies remorselessly grow old, disappear and are supplanted on Earth.
