Time for the Stars

Minor edge wear and rubbing, crease to bottom corner of back cover, price tag on back cover. Some tanning but text is clean and unmarked. A solid copy. ; 6" - 7" Tall; 188 pages; "Travel to other planets is now a reality, and with overpopulation stretching the resources of Earth, the necessity to find habitable worlds is growing ever more urgent. There's a problem, though - because the spaceships are slower than light, any communications between the ships and Earth would take years. The Long Range Foundation discovers an unlikely solution to the dilemma - human telepathy.
"Tom and Pat are identical twin teenagers. Pat is the outgoing one, the one whom the girls like, whereas Tom is the reserved, responsible brother. As twins, they've always been close, so close that it seemed like they could read each other's mind. When they are recruited by Long Range Foundation, the twins find out that they can, indeed, peer into each other's thoughts. Along with other telepathic duos, they are enlisted to be the human transmitters and receivers who will keep the ships in contact with Earth. Tom and Pat are eager to leave their quiet life behind, but there's a catch: one of them has to stay behind - and that one will grow old - while the other explores the depths of space and returns still as a young man.
