The Star of Life   (The Man Who Missed the Moon)   Novel

 


    Kirk Hammond was a man alone.
    He had been chosen to ride in the first manned satellite to go out around the Moon and back to Earth. But when the satellite failed to orbit peoperly, it went on past the Moon into the vastness of outer space, and a whole world watched helplessly as he was borne toward an unthinkably lonely death.
    Yet destiny decreed that Kirk Hammond should duffer, not death but a pseudo-death. and he awoke from it to find that a hundred centuries had passed and that the space age which had begun in the 20th century had now grown into a vast galactic civilization that had carried the sons of Earth to countless stars and worlds. But, unexpectedly, the conquest of space had changed Man himself, and the human race had became not one but several species.
    Hammond was plunged into the climactic struggle between the new races. and in his quest with a desperated band for the mysterious Star of Life that was the key to the struggle, in his relations with the strange and beauriful Thayn Marden who was not a human woman, in his odyssey through the mighty suns and eartly worlds of the galaxy, a man of the 20th Century found himsef facing tghe dangers of the great space age which he himself helped pioneer.
