In a future where freedom has vanished and faith is twisted into control, Earth is ruled by the techno-religious Avantist regime. Space remains the last refuge—guarded by Fireball Corporation, founded by visionary Anson Guthrie, whose mind lives on in digital form centuries after his death. But even immortality isn’t safe from tyranny.
When the Avantists seize a corrupted Guthrie copy, they plan to turn his genius into a weapon for oppression. Only pilot Kyra Davis can prevent disaster by smuggling the unaltered version of Guthrie beyond Earth’s reach to reignite rebellion among the stars.
Poul Anderson’s Harvest of Stars is a sweeping, cerebral sci-fi epic—part revolution, part revelation—about technology, tyranny, and the indomitable spirit that refuses to be silenced.
