The plot: The story begins
when 'Trails' are observed in Zeta Centauri, believed to
be traces of faster than light space ships of another race.
Spurred by this discovery, humans resolve problems in quantum
physics which allow faster than light travel. But when an
intrepid group of people set forth to meet the aliens, they
still have to deal with 10,000 years lapsing on Earth while
they only experience 10 years.
Comment: One of the things
that will strikes you is that Mr. Anderson seems we will
have regressed to speaking Shakespearean English within
the next century or two... Other than that, although this
novel is interesting and well written, it lacks that special
something that will suck the reader in and keep you turning
pages. I read 3 books trying to accomplish this one...
