Llud nodded curt approval, remarking, "Probably we'll be intercepted before we get that far." "One week since we passed close enough to Aldebaran to ascertain that that system, too, is devoid of planets. Certainly the building of this ship and its two sisters, the immense expenditure of time and labor and energy stores that went into them, left Earth's economy drained and exhausted. Now we turn back along a curve that will take us past many more stars and stellar systems—but hope is small that any of those will prove a home for man, as have none of the thousands of stars examined already.
