Search the Sky

In the satirical science fiction novel Search the Sky, humanity has colonized the stars in a far-future setting, with the story beginning on the declining planet of Halsey's. Protagonist Ross embarks on a mission aboard a fast spacecraft to investigate why a Longliner generation ship has lost contact with multiple colonies. As he navigates through the isolated and genetically diverse worlds, he uncovers the implications of a secret technology and the unique societal declines facing each colony. This engaging tale is the result of the creative collaboration between Fredrik Pohl and C.M. Kornbluth.
