The Captain of Estel (The Captain of Estel, #1-2)

Sylvia Engdahl

4.9/5 (20420 ratings)

Description:The pair of books in this volume tell of the long and momentous life of one man and the strange turns of fate that take him from his planned career as an ordinary starship pilot to acclaim as a legendary hero and ultimately to a destiny far beyond anything he or his contemporaries could have imagined. The trilogy’s third book Envoy of the Flame, which is available separately, is about the impact of his legacy on the future of humankind and the role of a young woman in bringing that impact about. These three are an independent and quite different story from Sylvia Engdahl's other novels with "Flame" in their titles,which though set two centuries earlier need not be read first. For more reviews see their separate editions.Defender of the Flame“This book reaches back to the brio and speculation of Engdahl’s classic books of the Seventies.” —Literary critic Nicholas BirnsStarship pilot Terry Radnor is elated to be among those chosen to defend the secret colony Maclairn against enemies who pose a threat to the spread of paranormal human mind powers. He commits himself wholly to the goal of that world, not guessing how far his effort to protect it will take him from everything else he cares about. Torn away from his family and career against his will after learning a secret too deep for its disclosure to be risked, he is forced to build a perilous new life grounded far from Maclairn. Yet a mysterious and extraordinary destiny has been predicted for Terry, and fate puts him in place to confront the colony's greatest peril.Herald of the Flame“These novels are not so much genre , , , Science Fiction as they are Literature. These are novels about life.” —Jacqueline Lichtenberg, Alien Romances Reviews 14As captain of his own starship Estel, Terry is committed to spreading acceptance of paranormal mind powers throughout the colonies of humankind. Barred from contact with his beloved planet Maclairn, he now journeys from world to world, heralding the hopeful future about which he alone knows the full truth. But the opponents of such powers are gaining strength, and on Earth the persecution of people who develop them is increasing. Soon targeted by bounty hunters, Terry risks everything that matters to him in a desperate attempt to defeat Maclairn's enemies, not guessing that if he lives long enough, he is destined for an even greater role in human history than he has played as a defender of its cause.Please note that unlike many of Engdahl's books these are not YA novels and they contain some material that is inappropriate for readers below high school age.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
