Take Them to the Stars

Showing that truth is stranger than fiction, Sylvain Neuvel weaves a sci-fi thriller reminiscent of Blake Crouch and Andy Weir, blending a fast moving, darkly satirical look at 1940s rocketry with an exploration of the amorality of progress and the nature of violence. A History of What Comes Next is the first book in this propulsive series, Take Them to the Stars.

“This stellar debut novel […] masterfully blends together elements of sci-fi, political thriller and apocalyptic fiction.[…] A page-turner of the highest order.” -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on Sleeping Giants
