Description:

In the 39th century, time is the ultimate divider. For seventeen-year-old Alan Donnell, a six-week voyage aboard the starship Valhalla cost him nine years of Earth-time. While Alan remains a teenager, his twin brother Steve has aged into a broken man, lost within the predatory layers of a vertical megalopolis. Starman'S Quest is a sweeping Space Opera that explores the brutal reality of the Fitzgerald Contraction. Alan must trade the sterile safety of his ship for the Dystopian grime of York City, a world where every citizen is tracked by televector surveillance and 'Starmen' are viewed with xenophobic hatred. Guided by the calculated mentor Max Hawkes, Alan’s search for his brother evolves into a high-stakes Space Exploration mission to reclaim the lost Cavour Hyperdrive. This Visionary & Metaphysical journey challenges the very laws of physics. From the violet sands of the Venusian desert to the neon-lit gambling dens of Earth, Alan fights to bridge the gap between subjective and objective time. Can one young man rediscover the secret to faster-than-light travel and unify a fractured humanity, or will the relativistic void keep them apart forever? If you are a fan of Robert A. Heinlein’s classic juveniles or the hard-science mastery of Isaac Asimov, you will love Starman'S Quest. It is a definitive tale of Alien Contact with our own future and a touching Romance with the stars themselves. Duration - 4h 42m. Author - Silverberg, Robert, 1935-. Narrator - Sarah Hazin. Published Date - Tuesday, 06 January 2026.
