Twenty years after the Polar Star crashes on a hostile planet, the survivors encounter the wreckage of the ship and realize that they have a chance to rejoin a human race that has forgotten about them. This English-language translation of Bulychev's Russian best seller depicts the small triumphs and large tragedies of a group of people forced to come to terms with an unforgiving world and their willingness to risk all they have for a better future. A good choice for most sf collections. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
