Book
Noumenon / Marina J. Lostetter.
In 2088, humankind is at last ready to explore beyond Earth's solar system. But one uncertainty remains as to where to go. Astrophysicist Reggie Straifer has discovered an anomalous star that appears to defy the laws of physics and proposes the creation of a deep-space mission to find out whether the star is a weird natural phenomenon, or something manufactured. The journey will take eons. In order to maintain the genetic talent of the original crew, humankind's greatest ambition to explore the furthest reaches of the galaxy is undertaken by clones. But a clone is not a perfect copy, and each new generation has its own quirks, desires, and neuroses. As the centuries fly by, the society living aboard the nine ships changes and evolves, but their mission remains the same: to reach Reggie's mysterious star and explore its origins and implications.
