The epic voyage of the spacecraft Leonora Christine will take her and her fifty-strong crew to a planet some thrity light-years distant. But, because the ship will accelerate to close to the spped of light, for those on board subjective time will slow and the journey will be of only a few years¿ duration. Then a buffeting by an interstellar dustcloud changes everything. The ship¿s deceleration system is damaged irreperably and soon she is gaining velocity. When she attains light-speed, tau zero itself, the disparity between ship-time and external time becomes almost impossibly great. Eons and galaxies hurtle by, and the crew of the Leonora Christine speeds into the unknown.

Book Description Paperback: 8½" x 5½". Condition: Good: Moderate signs of wear. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrator). 2000 Edition. © 1970: A stand-alone novel by Poul Anderson. 1st printing of 2000 edition. A shorter version of this novel appeared in 'Galaxy Science Fiction', June & August 1967 under the title 'To Outlive Eternity'. A part of the Gollancz SF Collectors' Edition series of books:- Synopsis: The epic voyage of the spacecraft Leonora Christine will take her and her fifty-strong crew to a planet some thirty light-years distant. For those on board, because the ship will accelerate to close the speed of light, subjective time will slow and the journey will be of only a few years' duration. But a buffeting by an interstellar dustcloud changes everything. The ship's deceleration system is damaged irreparably and soon, remorselessly, she is gaining velocity. When she attains light-speed, tau zero itself, the disparity between ship-time and external time becomes almost impossibly great. Eons and galaxies hurtle by, and the crew of the Leonora Christine speeds into the unknown. Enormously exhilarating, gripping and enjoyable, Tau Zero is the ultimate sense-of-wonder story. Fuelled by daring scientific speculation and tense human drama, it underlines Poul Anderson's place as one of the foremost SF writers:- Review(s): "Magnificent. A sense of timelessness, human eternity, and the order of the cosmos. Builds to an overpowering climax" - Barry Malzberg / "Imaginative and at times brilliant" - The Sunday Times / "The ultimate hard science fiction novel" - James Blish:- (original cost £9.99).
