The Star of Life
by Edmond Hamilton
Kirk Hammond was a man alone. He had been chosen to ride the first manned
satellite to go out around the Moon and back to Earth. But when the
satellite failed to orbit properly, it went on past the Moon into the
vastness of outer space, and a whole world watched helplessly as he was
borne toward an unthinkably lonely death. Yet destiny decreed that Kirk
Hammond should suffer not death, but pseudo-death. He awoke to find that a
hundred centuries had passed and the conquest of space had changed humanity
into several species.
You can see from the premise that this is classic science fiction. Sorry, no
RPG or other game spin-off here. Try it, you might like it.
