Travel to other planets is now a reality, and with overpopulation stretching the resources of Earth, the necessity of finding habitable worlds is growing ever more urgent. Thereโs a problem thoughโbecause the spaceships are slower than light, any communication between the exploring ships and Earth would take years.
Tom and Pat are identical twin teenagers. As twins theyโve always been close, so close that it seemed like they could read each otherโs minds. When they are recruited by the Long Range Foundation, the twins find out that they can, indeed, peer into each otherโs thoughts. Along with other telepathic duos, they are enlisted to be the human transmitters and receivers that will keep the ships in contact with Earth. But thereโs a catch: one of the twins has to stay behindโand that one will grow oldโwhile the other explores the depths of space and returns still a young man.
