Titan, an independent republic, was originally colonized from Earth three generations earlier. Duncan's initial challenge is to prepare, physically and intellectually, for the 500-million-mile trip to Earth. Once there, he is caught up in a sweep of new experiences, including the social and political whirl in Washington, a strange visit to a carefully preserved ancient city once prominent in the 20th century, and a search for and meeting with a woman he loved since she visited Titan years before.
The Songs of Distant Earth (1986) Over centuries of knowing the end was at hand humanity launched probes carrying embryos to distant star-systems, relying on machines to incubate the first people of a virgin land under an alien sun. Finally, in the Last days of the Earth, the Magellan takes off for the stars carrying a million refugees. They witness the death of Earth as they leave - the Atlantic boils dry, the pyramid disintegrate, the ice of Antarctica melts. Then they sleep. Five hundred years later the Magellan must make planetfall for repairs. The voyagers awake to find themselves on the idyllic planet of Thalassa. Curios yet wary, the Thalassans offer their distant cousins a cautious welcome and alien destinies become inextricably entwined in a clash of cultures unlike any before.
