Still, only the privileged one can use traditional transport such as planes and cars. In the middle, despite ironically I guess, Alfred Bester has written that anyone can Jaunt in the future. Then there are ways to make a place jaunting proof. The writer describes how it works, how one can jump from one location to another, and the restraints and limitations of the process. JauntingĪlfred Bester has written about Jaunting (transporting/portal traveling) in detail. However, if there will be a movie, the cast would be large. And there was a comment from someone that the book can turn into a good movie Jason Statham as a lead. I was roaming at the r/sci-fi cover, trying to see what users are saying about this cover. I mean, The Stars My Destination is a short book, but you can easily squeeze out a two-part movie from it.Īnd it was the first thing I read about the book. Kandar by Kenneth Bulmer – Science Fantasy without Science.The Fortec Conspiracy by Garvin and Addeo.Voyage To A Forgotten Sun by Donald J.He does not care about anyone, and Alfred Bester tries to make him a Dark character in the beginning.īut as the story moves, we see him turning into a shady area. He runs away from the jail with a girl, then goes back to Nomad to get that ship again.Īt every step, he takes the terrible decision, not from his heart or mind, but the rage. He soon finds out that there is something on the ship, and everyone wants to know the ship’s location.īut he doesn’t tell it to anybody at any cost.

However, people capture him, and he is thrown into jail. The purpose is the same- to destroy the Vogra. And there he leaves the ship and comes to Earth. Gully Foyle does something (spoiler) and ends up at NOMAD, where he gets the face tattoo. That is the first time I realize that the anger fuels this protagonist and that he is reckless and stupid-a fantastic combination for a character in the space sci-fi. He is, so hell-bent on taking the revenge that he decides to destroy the Vogra – the ship, not the people on the ship. As a short-tempered, space street person, he gets angry and decides to take revenge against the Vogra.
