Cover art by John Harris

When the exploratory spaceship Starventure had soared to the stars in search of new worlds for mankind, top science journalist David Drummond had been proud that his own brother Leon was part of the crew. Now Starventure was back in the solar system, heading for its long-awaited rendezvous with Earth.

And suddenly the logical, scientific foundations of David's world were falling apart. For though he knew his brother was still millions of miles away, David also knew that he had seen Leon walking the streets of Earth that very day. And before long, the whole world would know what David was about to discover. Something was terribly wrong aboard Starventure, something that could change the entire future of all humankind!

This review is from: More Things in Heaven (Daw science fiction) (Paperback)

John Brunner is an ideas writer. And while this novel is a little lighter -- and somewhat sillier -- than other of his books I've read, the idea behind it is worth considering. Focusing on the return of a spaceflight that had experimented with a new kind of drive that drew on parallel planes (or hyperspace), Brunner's book considers what might happen if such an experiment gently rent the space between the planes. The book takes some time gearing up to the big a-ha and accelerates even faster to the end, but the spiritual/philosophical overtones aren't heavy handed. A quick read, and fun.
