More about the book
THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST The crew of the Constitution--scientists cum astronauts--had been carefully screened for extremely high intelligence & superb physical qualities. They were to be the first explorers sent to another stellar system. There they would explore the planet Alpha-Aleph, then return. They were the toast of the world press--true heroes, for they were to go where no man had gone before. Or so they thought. Dr. Dieter von Knefhausen knew otherwise--for there was no planet, no place to go & no place from which to return. Knefhuasen had planned it that way. Of course, Knefhausen realized his plan wasn't exactly ethical. But then, he knew the ends often justify the means--Knefhausen's plan worked better then even he had ever hoped!
