Tres parejas en un arca espacial, rumbo a un nuevo mundo: Alfa-Alef. Un viaje de diez años desde un planeta en descomposición, la Tierra, hasta el arco iris estelar de un destino esplendoroso. Una nueva oportunidad para la humanidad. Pero no todo era como parecía. Pese a la gran fanfarria de la despedida, a los vítores y alientos, a la radio y la televisión, había razones ocultas en aquel proyecto. En la Tierra, cada vez más lejana, mientras toda una sociedad se descomponía a su alrededor, el profesor Kneufuausen soñaba constantemente en los mensajes que llegaban de la nave y en el plan secreto que, confiaba, le daría al maltrecho planeta algo mucho más valioso que un nuevo mundo que colonizar…, un mundo que, por otra parte, ni siquiera existía. A Book Club Edition of this book written in 1982. An earthsize planet has been discovered in the Alpha Centauri orbit. Four couples were chosen to crew a spaceship to check it out. Dr. Dieter von Knefhausen had a Master Plan for the mission and he would stop at nothing, even murder, to carry it out. Supermen, headed out into space, to explore, and return, except that there was no actual planet to go to. (From the front page) Alpha-Aleph This is a photographic negative...Those objects are astronomical. The picture was taken from our Briareus Twelve satellite near the orbit of Jupiter, on its way out to Neptune four months ago. The central object is the star Alpha Centauri... "That, gentlemen and ladies, is Alpha-Aleph. It is precisely where we predicted it to be from radio-telescope data." Just put your hat from 1980 on, and go read this. It's good honest space opera, and you'll have fun. Alpha-Aleph nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST The crew of the Constitution--scientists cum astronauts--had been carefully screened for extremely high intelligence and superb physical qualities. They were to be the first explorers sent to another stellar system. There they would explore the planet Alpha-Aleph and then return. They were the toast of the world press--true heroes, for they were to go where no man had gone before. Or so they thought. Dr. Dieter von Knefhausen knew otherwise--for there was no planet, no place to go...and no place from which to return. Knefhuasen had planned it that way. Of course, Knefhausen realized his plan wasn't exactly ethical. But then, he knew the ends often justify the means. And Knefhausen's plan worked better then even he had ever hoped!
