The Stars My Destination

“Gully Foyle is my nameAnd Terra is my nation.Deep space is my dwelling place,The stars my destination.”

I haven't heard about Alfred Bester before and just dived in, not expecting much, despite the book having great reviews. And what a fantastic read!

Main protagonist Gully Foyle is despicable, only driven by revenge and I was absolutely captivated by him. The story itself is nothing incredibly new but the world building is just top notch and I found myself thinking about it all the time.

I still can't believe how immersed I was, how many great ideas were in the story and you just wouldn't know the book is from 1956 - on the contrary the age of it might just help. Must read if you're a fan of sci-fi, highly recommended.
