About this book
Operation Interstellar by George O. Smith rockets listeners into a high-stakes battle over the very possibility of real-time communication across the stars. When Haedaecker’s Theory decrees instantaneous contact impossible, engineer Paul Grayson bets everything on a daring Z-wave technology that could change interstellar relations forever. His experiments ignite intrigue, corporate and political resistance, and dangerous attempts to silence him.
Blending classic science fiction adventure with hard-science speculation, the novel explores themes of curiosity, scientific ethics, and the power struggles that follow technological breakthroughs. Smith stages clever technical problem-solving alongside suspenseful confrontations, all while preserving a tight sense of pacing and wonder. The story captures mid-20th-century speculative spirit—logical, idea-driven, and full of inventive devices—without sacrificing human stakes or emotional tension.
Ideal for fans of vintage hard science fiction, techno-thrillers, and anyone who enjoys brainy protagonists racing against entrenched opposition, this audiobook offers a thought-provoking, briskly told journey through the practical and moral implications of breaking the light-speed barrier of communication. Listen for inventive ideas, relentless momentum, and the timeless thrill of scientific defiance.
