The Stars, My Brothers e-bok

The Stars, My Brothers is a classic science fiction novella by American author Edmond Hamilton first published in Amazing Stories 1962. The Stars, My Brothers is considered one of Edmonton’s best stories, and certainly most imaginative, stories. A spaceman is killed in space and frozen. He is left orbiting the space station where he was killed in the hope that a method will be found to bring him back to life. That day finally comes a hundred years later, when he awakens to a very different world and comes to realize he has become both a symbol and a pawn in a human/alien conflict. The Stars, My Brothers gives us a re-animated astronaut plucked from a century in the past and presented with an alien world where the line between humans and animals is blurred. “He was afraid-not of the present or the future, but of the past. He was afraid of the thing tagged Reed Kieran, that stiff blind voiceless thing wheeling its slow orbit around the Moon, companion to dead worlds and silent space.” Published in the May, 1962 issue of Amazing Stories.
