Catch A Falling Star by John Brunner

3.0

This book started out seeming to be without any direction, but it turned out pretty good. It's a novel of a journey of a man and a woman who are searching for a society that would have the intellect and mental disposition to help stop a star coming toward Earth, which would hit in 300 years. This takes place 100,000 years in the future where humans have become very self-absorbed and defunct of any scientific interests after the rise and fall of countless empires. Their journey takes them to lands and people they didn't know existed. For all they knew their society was the only one left in the world.
The journey takes them halfway around the world where they find the answers they are looking for.
Overall it's a decent sci-fi story, though nowhere near as detailed and intricate as his more famous books.
