This is the story of space travelers. Two astronauts
carefully chosen for the mission of exploring space are expected to produce
their offspring in spaceship who would continue the mission which runs for
decades. The children of those two astronauts, one male and another female are
supposed to produce their next generation. When they are set to marry, they
raise the question - how can siblings get married? They put forward this question
to their parents and history unravels through the notes documented by their
parents. Their find out that their parents are not married, were brought together
only for this mission. They also learn that their parents are not biological parents
but surrogate parents as the kids they raised were born out of embryo created
from sperm and egg donors. That solves the dilemma ensuring space mission is
unaffected.
Though this novel has scientific background, it is the
psychological exploration of characters which takes the center stage (as always).
This novel is another feather in Bhyrappa’s cap who has explored people from
all walks of life, musicians, politicians, mythological characters and this
time the space travelers. A must read for fans of Bhyrappa and this novel is brief (210
pages long), makes it a quick read and transports the readers to an experience
beyond the Earth.
