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?

From the pen of Hugo Finalist Tom Purdom comes I Want the Stars:


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.
