Into Deepest Space

From a great distance the Yela’s recorded message crackled through the micro-earpiece – “For the time being you have won. But I am not defeated so easily” –

That had been three years ago, after Dick Warboys had repulsed the invading Yela by firing a lithium bomb into the sun. but now that threat seems impending as scientists detect the rapid approach of a vast engulfing cloud of hydrogen. Warboys and his allies therefore set out in hot pursuit of the Yela into deepest space from Ursa Majoris, to save the Earth.

About the author:

Professor Sir Fred Hoyle was one of the most distinguished, creative, and controversial scientists of the twentieth century. He was a Fellow of St John’s College (1939-1972, Honorary Fellow 1973-2001), was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1957, held the Plumian Chair of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy (1958-1972), established the Institute of Theoretical Astronomy in Cambridge (now part of the Institute of Astronomy), and (in 1972) received a knighthood for his services to astronomy.

Hoyle was a keen mountain climber, an avid player of chess, a science fiction writer, a populariser of science, and the man who coined the phrase 'The Big Bang'.

Quotes from Fred Hoyle:

"Space isn't remote at all. It's only an hour's drive away if your car could go straight upwards." — Fred Hoyle

"When I was young, the old regarded me as an outrageous young fellow, and now that I'm old the young regard me as an outrageous old fellow." — Fred Hoyle

"A junkyard contains all the bits and pieces of a Boeing 747, dismembered and in disarray. A whirlwind happens to blow through the yard. What is the chance that after its passage a fully assembled 747, ready to fly, will be found standing there? So small as to be negligible, even if a tornado were to blow through enough junkyards to fill the whole Universe." — Fred Hoyle (The Intelligent Universe: A New View of Creation and Evolution)

Reviews from readers:

"This is clear masterpiece. Yela is the best sci-fi antagonist you will find. Not sure why its not talked of highly enough or not many have read this one.. maybe a hard to find book? But i sure did enjoy this when i read it.. would like to get hold of a copy if ever it gets available again for posterity!" - Razcads
