Starfarers Tapa dura - 1998

Información de la editorial

Poul Anderson, one of science fiction's most treasured visionaries, returns with a new masterpiece. Starfarers is the story of an expedition into the far reaches of the galaxy, where answers to mankind's greatest questions await.

The saga begins when evidence of an advanced starfaring civilization is discovered by SETI astronomers. An expedition is planned and an eclectic team of scientists chosen to make the journey. But because the destination of the starship Envoy and her crew is 60,000 light years away, the time required to reach the point of origin of the signals and return is 120,000 years -- longer than Homo sapiens have been on Earth. And though the crew is ready to face the ramifications of such a trek, no one is prepared for what awaits them at the outer edge of the cosmos ... or back at the planet they once called home.
