Poul Anderson's Tau Zero is an outstanding work of science fiction, in part because it combines an interest in the emotional lives of its characters and a fascination with all things technological and scientific. The novel centers on a ten-year interstellar voyage aboard the spaceship Leonora Christine, and it opens with members of the crew preparing for their departure from earth. The voyage soon takes a unexpected and disastrous turn for the worse. The ship passes through a small, uncharted, cloudlike nebula that makes it impossible for the crew to decelerate the ship. The only hope, in fact, is for the ship to speed up.
