How can humans survive millions of years into the future? The Starfarers take off on a journey at the speed of light that keeps time normal for them, but advances Earth to untold thousands of years while they are gone.
What do they find? What is there when they return? Anderson is a very deep and rich writer that takes you on a voyage . . . to strange and sometimes hauntingly familar places. I wanted more description and less of the effects of the Faster Than Light Travel vs. what happened on Earth. Enjoyable rainy day escape.
