THEY WANTED THE STARS...

Fleeing a utopian Earth, searching for meaning, Jenorden and his friends take to the stars to save a helpless race from merciless telepathic aliens.

But when travelers from another galaxy appear, offering to answer any question, reveal any secret and end any conflict, are their motives sinister...

...or sincere?

---

A huge hit when it was released in 1964, and one of the first science fiction novels to star a person of color, I Want the Stars is a hopeful tale of tomorrow, one that resonates today more than ever.

This edition includes a ""making of"" essay, a window into the world of an SF writer in the Silver Age of the genre.

Reviews for I Want the Stars

This is a fascinating book, not just because Purdom knows how to put together a well-paced, character-driven story but because of how modern it feels... Hugo Finalist Alasdair Stuart I did love how I Want the Stars delves into the decadence of the future, something I don't see enough of in science fiction, not in the crass Moorcock vein, but rather pursuing the psychological shifts that occur do to abundance and total access to the cosmos. Jean-Paul Garnier, Warp Speed Odyssey
