Comparison to Heinlein's novel "Time for the Stars" ?[edit]

Both involve a set of twins, and one is space travelling while the other is "home." If there is an RS out there that discusses it, please post here? Thanks. HammerFilmFan (talk) 15:19, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In "Time for the stars", the story revolves around telepathy being used as a means of communication that is not bound to Einstein's law. It is told from the perspective of twin brothers, one staying earth-bound, the other being aboard a space ship traveling at lightspeed from star system to star system. As a side effect of studying this special kind of communication, in the end superluminal travel is developed which puts an end to the journey of the ship-bound twin, who subsequently returns to earth.

It's more of an explorer story, describing the adventures (and dangers) of the explored new worlds and, as a side-plot, how the space-bound twin is also able to make telepathic contact with his niece, grand niece, and even joining the telepathic communication of another "linked" couple.

Starman's Quest, in term, describes Alan's quest for making the Cavour hyperdrive reality. It does so in four acts, so to speak: 1) introducing the life on a spaceship, 2) leaving the ship and finding his brother, 3) living with Max (and getting drawn into a bankrobbery that leads to Max' death and Alan inheriting his wealth), 4) collecting all information about the Cavour hyperdrive and finally developing it. 84.134.164.126 (talk) 09:42, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
