The Happy Unfortunate And The Hunted Heroes by Robert Silverberg ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

The Happy Unfortunate And The Hunted Heroes by Robert Silverberg audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In this two-story collection of early Robert Silverberg science fiction, humanity's future splits along harsh new lines. In The Happy Unfortunate, Rolf Dekker returns to Earth after years among the stars and discovers a planet that no longer feels like home. The space program has reshaped people as much as it has reshaped society: the big-boned, acceleration-hardened Spacers stand apart from Earthbound citizens who pursue fashionable ideals through radical cosmetic change. Caught between pride and longing, Rolf tries to bridge the widening gap, risking body and identity in a world obsessed with appearances and belonging. In The Hunted Heroes, a different kind of frontier demands a different kind of courage. Ron and Valerie, part of a desperate expedition searching Mars for uranium to keep a wounded Earth alive, push into a landscape that is empty, unforgiving, and deadly. But the worst danger is not the planet itself. As their mission turns into a relentless chase, the couple must decide what heroism really costs when survival, love, and duty collide.
