For seven weeks the Constellation had been plunging through hyperspace with her eight thousand colonists; fleeing like a hunted thing with her communicators silenced and her drives moaning and thundering. Up in the control room, Irene had been told, the needles of the dials danced against the red danger lines day and night.

Classic space opera, but a good tale of adaptation to a harsh environment producing a race of "supermen". Enjoyable read, if a bit dated in its technolgoy.
