Voices of Heaven

No science fiction collection is complete without Hugo and Nebula award-winner and Science Fiction Grand Master Frederik Pohl. In The Voices of Heaven—a novel of unsurpassed imagination—Pohl combines an inspired glimpse into human/alien relations with a gripping story of survival on the frontier world of Pava. When a rival slips Barry di Hoa a mickey, he awakens from space-travel hibernation on an alien world 18 light years from earth. Suddenly, everyone di Hoa loves has had 20 years to move on. In anguish and marooned on an alien world, he makes friends with the leps, the large, gentle caterpillar-like beasts indigenous to the planet. Can di Hoa—with the leps’ help—create a world fit for human existence, or will he return to seek justice 40 years delayed? Johnny Heller’s impassioned narration brings Pohl’s masterful writing to life, and allows di Hoa’s complex and intriguing character to fully evolve.
