"The solar system was home to us, would always be home to us, but never, I knew, would either of us be able to break away from the fascination of the great fleet’s interstellar patrol, the flashing from sun to sun, the long silent hours in cosmic night and stellar glare. We would be star-rovers, she and I, until the end."
Edmond Hamilton, The Star-Stealers, conto reeditado na antologia The Big Book of Science Fiction, editado por Jeff e Ann Vandermeer.
