With known exoplanets now numbering in the thousands and initiatives like 100 Year Starship and Breakthrough Starshot advancing the idea of interstellar travel, the age-old dream of venturing forth into the cosmos and perhaps even colonizing distant worlds may one day become a reality. A Traveler's Guide to the Stars reveals how.

Les Johnson takes you on a thrilling tour of the physics and technologies that may enable us to reach the stars. He discusses the latest exoplanet discoveries, promising interstellar missions on the not-so-distant horizon, and exciting new developments in space propulsion, power, robotics, communications, and more. But interstellar travel will not be easy, and it is not for the faint of heart. Johnson describes the harsh and forbidding expanse of space that awaits us, and he addresses the daunting challenges—both human and technological—that we will need to overcome in order to realize tomorrow's possibilities.

A Traveler's Guide to the Stars is your passport to the next great frontier of human discovery, providing a rare inside look at the remarkable breakthroughs in science and technology that will help tomorrow's space travelers chart a course for the stars.

Narrator’s voice is too nasally for the verbose writing style. Why use 10 words when 100 will do. Great premise but verbosity makes it hard not to switch off.

Wrong narrator for writing style

Incredibly interesting with a rather dry sense of humour sprinkled throughout, though it did feel rather short once the introductory/explanatory chapters were done.

Great

Having always been interested in writing science fiction myself it’s a great guide to understanding what’s realistic and what just breaks the laws of physics.

Clear rational guide to what’s possible

Les covers many possible means of travelling to other planets and refreshingly doesn't rose-tint the reality that we have a way to go (not just in distance), but still offers a positive outlook on how humans overcome the challenges we face. That said, it's going to take an invention or discovery that's out of this world if we're going to travel to other star systems, tis book explains why.

Loads of great info, clear, easily understood
