10 Second Review
Humans have discovered an ancient alien station with ships that travel the universe. The problem? They need volunteers to test out a system no one understands. Few volunteers ever return.

An excellent book that succeeds in creating a sense of wonder.
Published in 1977 this book shows it's age but is surprisingly progressive. Adult themes may not be appropriate for younger readers.

Notes
True 'old-school' sci-fi

Learning Curve
