The benefits to Earth were enormous. But because of the Fitzgerald Contraction, a man who shipped out to space could never live a normal life on Earth again.</p> <p>Travelling at speeds close to that of light, spacemen lived at an accelerated pace. A nine-year trip to Alpha Centauri and back seemed to take only six weeks to men on a spaceship. When they returned, their friends and relatives had aged enormously in comparison, old customs had changed, even the language was different.</p> <p>So they did the only thing they could do. They formed a guild of Spacers, and lived their entire lives on the starships, raised their families there, and never set foot outside their own Enclave during their landings on Earth. They grew to despise Earthers, and the Earthers grew to despise them in turn. There was no logical reason for it, except that they were—different. That was enough.</p> <p>But not all Starmen liked being different. Alan Donnell loved space, and the ship, and life aboard it. His father, Captain of the Valhalla, lived for nothing but the traditions of the Spacers. But his twin brother, Steve, couldn't stand it, and so he jumped ship.</p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3493.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3493.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3493.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3493.mobi Revenge Arthur Porges http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3579 en 1961 Short Fiction Science Fiction <p>Hell may have no fury like a woman scorned, but the fury of a biochemist scorned is just as great —and much more fiendish.</p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3579.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3579.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3579.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3579.mobi The Nothing Equation Tom Godwin http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2550 urn:isbn:B001AM9VUW en 1957 Short Fiction Science Fiction <p>The space ships were miracles of power and precision; the men who manned them, rich in endurance and courage.
