3888 A Space Opera: Home (VonStaufen's World, Band 3) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

HOME is the third volume of the 3888 trilogy (preceded by RETURN and WELCOME). It is set on primitive but modernizing VonStaufen's World. At this time Earth and her sister advanced planets (Colombia and Gagarin) complacently dominate the galaxy while allowing the second-, third-, and fourth-world planets to progress and lose ground, advance and stumble in their own humorous fashion toward galactic standards and acceptance. Our heroes (he might say victim, she would shout Heroine), are father Constanteen and daughter Theodora. He was born as the last of six sons, the "runt of the litter," of a middle-rank baron on backward VonStaufen's World, off in the galactic West. This world endured 600 years of isolation after a supernova caused the loss of its access route to the galaxy. He was allowed to play at romantic hero, and even at soldier, but not prepared for any responsibilities; nothing much was expected from him. Thea was born on Earth in an Edinburgh babybank but from her offworld parents' genetic "deposits," making her one of the few Earthlings not from the standard genetic strain produced by the babybanks with their 71 varieties of superficial appearance. At age six she discovered that VonStaufen's World's legendary and super-heroic founder, Helmuta VonStaufen, had been reborn in her and was pulling her forward to battle evil "back home."
