| Summary |
"Voyage To Eternity" by Milton Lesser is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story delves into themes of government secrecy and the fate of young men drafted for an enigmatic mission called the Nowhere Journey, leaving loved ones behind with uncertainty about their return. The central characters include Christopher Temple, who is facing his own draft call, and his love, Stephanie, who is desperate to understand the implications of the journey. The opening of the novel establishes a tense atmosphere as widespread riots break out in Center City, reflecting societal unrest over the regime’s decision to draft young men for a mysterious mission. Christopher Temple grapples with his impending call and his desire to marry Stephanie before he possibly vanishes into the unknown. As the names of the drafted men are announced, the narrative shifts between Temple's emotional turmoil and the chaotic backdrop of discontent, setting the stage for their entangled fate amidst a future that seems irrevocably linked to a journey from which no one ever returns.
