To the Stars

Overview
Space is deep

Man is small

and Time is his relentless enemy…

How far is too far? What price do we pay for expanding our knowledge to the limit, for exploring the farthest reaches of the universe, for extending our reach To the Stars?

Alan Corday, a smart yet desperate young man, is about to find out. His family fortune squandered and the woman he loves unattainable, Corday will go to almost any length to change his luck. But his desperation leads him into harm’s way—and into the hands of one Captain Jocelyn and his crew.

Shanghaied from the spaceport at New Chicago, Corday is taken aboard the Hound of Heaven, a craft bound for the stars…on a journey through hell.

186,000 miles per second. The speed of light. The Hound of Heaven approaches this speed to reach its distant destinations. But three months traveling at that speed is equal to half a century on earth—and the world they left behind is fast vanishing into the past.

Everything Corday loves, everything he believes in—is history. He is a wanderer in eternity, and nothing in the cold, dark forbidding reaches of space can prepare him for the astounding discovery he will make upon his long-awaited return from the stars.

“Just as timely, just as awe-inspiring, just as profoundly moving as it was in 1950.” ―Barnes & Noble Explorations Blog

“Remarkably powerful novel.” —John W. Campbell, Jr., Astounding Science Fiction

“One of his finest works. Hubbard brilliantly evokes the vastness of space and the tragedy of those who would conquer it.” —Publishers Weekly starred review

You will love To the Stars because you’ll experience space exploration in a way you will not forget.
