Meyer Moldeven ~7 hr read

Humanity reaches out to the stars in a sweeping tale of exploration and destiny, staking everything on a single, cosmic gamble: the universe, or nothing.

Meyer Moldeven's 1984 novel is an earnest hard-SF space opera. Ambitious, visionary, of its era. Read it for a grand-scale story of humankind's push into deep space and the high-stakes drive to secure a future among the stars, in the sweeping, idea-driven tradition of hard science fiction's great voyages of expansion and discovery.
