Item description from seller

© 1981: An omnibus of the 3 novels in the 'To The Stars' series of books. 1st printing of 1981 Book Club edition:- Contents: Homeworld / Wheelworld / Starworld:- Synopsis: A breathtaking adventure trilogy from the author of 'The Deathworld Trilogy' and 'The Adventures Of The Stainless Steel Rat', 'To The Stars' gives a vivid, startling look into the 25th century - a rigid society, with the wealth and freedom of a small elite supported by the powerless proles, who eke out a hardscrabble existence on Earth and its colonies. 'Homeworld' introduces us to Jan Kulozik, an upper-class engineer who has taken his privileges for granted. While vacationing at a luxurious resort in the Middle East, he nearly drowns in a sailboat accident, but an illegal Israeli submarine saves him. Kulozic's rescuers make him unwillingly recognize the suffering of most of the planet's inhabitants and the Israelis reveal the existence of an underground movement, which is struggling to topple society's current balance of power. Jan must choose between the comfort and safety of his former life and the dangers towards which hi conscience is urging him.Ten years later, in 'Wheelworld', Jan has been banished from Earth, exiled to the inflexible tribal society of Halvmork, which helps supply Earth's agricultural needs. Unhappy with his lot, Jan is nonetheless resigned, until the crucial cargo ships fail to arrive from Earth. Then, Halvmork's only hope for survival is Jan's organization of a daring, gruelling mass exodus against incredible odds. In 'Starworld', Jan returns to Earth and finds himself caught between the underground and Earth's government. The Earth colonies have rebelled, and Earth is desperately struggling to retain its tyrannical hold over them. Jan is caught in a series of fast-paced espionage and counter-espionage episodes. His goal: to destroy the vestiges of power among what were once Earth's reigning elite. And he is the one person who can save the world:- (original cost unmarked).
