Summary
Michael D. O'Brien: Voyage to Alpha Centauri
2097. is a year. World domination controls the entire planet. Everything is under constant surveillance. Depopulation measures were imposed everywhere. Under the guise of democracy, human rights are suppressed and every form of freedom is abolished. There is no religion left. Humanity has built the spaceship Kosmos that can travel at half the speed of light and takes a large group of top scientists deep into space to explore new territory. It will take nine years to reach the planet Alpha Centauri A-7. What difficulties await them on their journey and what will they find there when they arrive? The main character of this novel, Nobel laureate physicist Neil Ruiz de Hoyos, is one of the scientists whose discoveries made it possible to build a spaceship, and he embarked on Cosmos to escape the seemingly benign totalitarian government that controls almost all aspects of life on Earth. He is a stubborn and cynical skeptic with a soft heart who keeps memories of many old tragedies, loves and hates deep inside. The surprises that await him on this journey, as well as at his destination, will destroy all his assumptions and guide him towards a new horizon. In his tenth novel, Michael D. O'Brien, already known to Croatian readers for numerous successes such as Posjelnja vremena, Otok svijeta, Očeva pripovijest etc., takes us on an unparalleled journey, a space odyssey permeated with numerous difficulties, questioning and research into human nature and the meaning of life. Because what is man searching for in the infinite universe? Just for more knowledge? Or is there something else?
