Product Description

Product Description
An omnibus reprint of the classic trilogy: This Star Shall Abide (published in the UK as Heritage of the Star) Beyond the Tomorrow Mountains The Doors of the Universe From the early seventies through the early eighties each of the three novels in this trilogy were eagerly awaited from the award-winning author Sylvia Engdahl. Unfortunately long out of print, they are now back for you to read, enjoy, discuss, and treasure. Updated and with a new afterword from the author, this edition of Children of the Star is once again slated to become a required title for everyone's library.

From the Author
CHILDREN OF THE STAR is an omnibus edition of my science fiction trilogy THIS STAR SHALL ABIDE (published in the UK as HERITAGE OF THE STAR), BEYOND THE TOMORROW MOUNTAINS and THE DOORS OF THE UNIVERSE. Though the separate novels were originally published as teen books, the new edition has been issued as adult SF; it's of greatest interest to adults and older teenagers. For more information and a FAQ page about the story, please visit my website.

5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome end to a long-loved story, 2 Oct 2002
I bought "Heritage of the Star" (UK title) when I was 11, more or less at random from the Puffin Book Club, and it remained my favourite book for years and was lent to everyone I know. It was one of the first science fiction books I had ever read that made me THINK (and wasn't just Boys Stuff in Space), and its outcome surprised and amazed me. It had never occurred to me that there could be sequels, so I was delighted to find this trilogy at Amazon and finally read the rest of the story. Science (and Science Fiction) may have moved on, but this remains one of the best stories for teenagers (and everyone else) I've ever read; it deserves a much higher profile - buy it for yourself and every young person you know who likes to daydream and think about the bigger things in life.
