Synopsis

From one of science fiction’s grand masters comes a witty and insightful exploration of war, politics, and alien contact.

In Black Star Rising, Frederik Pohl imagines a future in which humanity finds itself confronting an alien civilization unlike anything previously encountered. As misunderstandings grow and tensions mount, both species must navigate the dangerous intersection of fear, pride, and survival.

Pohl’s trademark blend of humor, intelligence, and social commentary is on full display. Beneath the exciting science-fiction adventure lies a thoughtful examination of patriotism, militarism, and the ways societies justify conflict.

Fans of classic science fiction will appreciate the novel’s combination of entertaining storytelling and deeper philosophical themes.
