Michael F. Capobianco

    Michael Capobianco je autor, ktorého diela sa ponárajú do hlbín vedeckej fantastiky. Jeho písanie často skúma zložité vedecké koncepty a ich dopad na ľudstvo. Ako bývalý prezident organizácie Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) sa aktívne podieľal na rozvoji žánru. Capobiancovo spojenie s vedu, vrátane jeho astronomických pozorovaní, preniká do jeho rozprávania a dodáva mu autenticitu.

      Homeless Among the Stars In a last ditch effort to reunite the world, the multinational starship Asia was launched fourteen years ago on a journey through the near solar systems. Its mission: to search out and colonize Earth-type planets that could support human life. Yet, as the crew approaches their first destination in the Epsilon Indi system, an unexplained burst of radiation apparently emanating from Earth wipes out all contact with the mother planet. Fearing the worst but unwilling to jeopardize essential crew members, the captain chooses the brilliant but restless Peter Zolotin to undertake the hazardous voyage back to Earth. With the aid of an advanced artificial intelligence Zolotin embarks on a mind-bending journey to discover the truth about Earth's fate. And the message he carries back to the orphaned crew will change the course of humanity forever. A remarkable solo debut, Burster is a stunning and thought-provoking novel of a young man's coming of age in the galaxy.
