SCIENCE FICTION
“Starfarers”
by Poul
Anderson 
On
Earth, the x-ray signatures of far distant interstellar craft are discovered.
Man goes on to analyze the tracks and invent the star drive. A special ship is
outfitted to travel the 5000 light years to the source of the tracks.
This is the story of the journey and what is found at its end.
Also, the return trip and what awaits to crew after a 10,000 year
absence. Interesting and imaginative.
