Reading Science Fiction Novels in English _ Battle for the Stars by Edmond Hamilton
"Battle for the Stars" is a science fiction novel published in 1961 by Edmond Hamilton. This novel is a typical example of Hamilton's space opera style, featuring grand galactic settings and exciting space adventures.
The story is set in the distant future, when humanity has colonized many stars and established a vast interstellar empire. The story begins with tensions between the central government centered on Earth and the outer planets. The outer planets want to break free from the central government's control and become independent, which escalates into a full-scale galactic civil war.
The protagonist, John Gordon, plays a crucial role in this complex political situation. He strives to maintain peace and prevent war, but at the same time, he is conflicted between his own loyalties and beliefs. In the process, he comes to realize the vastness of the universe and the complexity of human nature.
Through this novel, Hamilton explores profound themes such as imperialism, colonization, and the balance between freedom and control. At the same time, it is also rich in his trademark exciting space battles and adventure elements, providing readers with both intellectual stimulation and fun.
"Battle for the Stars" is a work that goes beyond simple entertainment and asks deep questions about the future of humanity and the role of humans in space. Hamilton's unique imaginative space descriptions, characterization, and captivating storytelling are well-combined, and the novel is still considered a classic loved by science fiction fans.
This work is one of Hamilton's later works, and it shows his literary maturity and depth well. It shows more complex characterization and elaborate plot structure than his early works, while maintaining his trademark vast space background and exciting adventure elements.
Summary
Kirk had never seen the distant planet called Earth, yet his squadron was now ordered there?to stem the outbreak of a galactic war!
It was well called the Dragon's Throat, thought Kirk. Throat of fire, of burning suns, a cosmic blind-alley into danger!
You made your decision. You threw a ship, a hundred men, your officers, your friends, your own Commander's badge you threw them all down on the gamble. But when the stakes were stars....
He said to himself, "The hell with it, we're committed."
He said aloud, "Radar?"
Joe Garstang, standing on the bridge beside him, answered without turning. "Nothing has been monitored yet. Not yet."
