Light, however, was easier to project over the distances required to traverse interstellar space. And perhaps, signals from another intelligence have been detected, mistakenly interpreted as a star pulsating, its brightness changing due to some natural phenomenon. Well, it's something to do when you're stuck monitoring the weather at the South Pole...

Riassunti StellariOrion - Ben BovaIn Orion, Ben Bova ci presenta un superuomo che si definisce, umilmente, umano come tutti noi... solo con capacità tipo imparare il pianoforte in due ore o arti marziali in pochi giorni. Orion scopre rapidamente di non essere solo un impiegato superumano, ma una pedina cosmica catapultata dal futuro per salvare l'umanità . Tra bombe inaspettate, incontri con angeli dorati e tipi infernali, Orion si destreggia tra crisi esistenziali e duelli epici con la leggerezza di uno che scopre di essere destinato a morire eroicamente. In fondo, è solo un'altra giornata tranquilla per il salvatore occasionale dell'universo.
