To the Stars (trilogy)  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search  The To the Stars trilogy is a
series of science fiction novels by Harry Harrison, first
published in 1980 (Homeworld) and 1981 (Wheelworld and
Starworld). The three books were re-published in an omnibus
edition in 1991.   Homeworld presents a dystopian world some
centuries in the future; in response to the depletion of the
world's natural resources and resulting social and environmental
collapse, a ruthless totalitarian oligarchy has emerged, ruling
over both Earth and the interstellar colonies that have been
established. The novel introduces the protagonist of the series,
Jan Kulozik, an engineer and member of his society's privileged
technocratic elite, and traces his disillusionment and eventual
rebellion as he discovers the true nature of his society.   In
Wheelworld Jan Kulozik has been exiled to the fictional
agricultural colony world Halvmörk in the Beta Aurigae system.
