Starborne

From the stagnant society of 23rd-century Earth comes an idea so powerful that it seizes the imagination of all humankind. A starship will be sent out into the unknown universe, in search of habitable worlds, with the hope that the challenge of colonization will rekindle the dying human spirit. But all communication between Earth and ship are suddenly cut off, and then the ship's telepath senses a powerful alien presence in the vast vacuum of space.
