Synopsis
THE ROBOT ROAD TO FARAWAY
His was a dream few spacemen ever saw come true. Alan Kemp was an obsessed man - driven by the realization of a dream into the black emptiness between the stars.
In a rebuilt, second-hand, obsolete ship, Kemp and his three comrades too off - determined to set up a shuttle between the planets at the Rim of the galaxy.
But trouble - in the form of two lost colonies, one inhabited by giant mechanical insects and the other ruled by the descendants of a murderous pirate - threatened. Kemp's crew began to wonder: just how much will a man sacrifice to realize a dream?
