Blue Fire
Robert Silverberg · 1 novel · 5 novelettes · 1965–1967
Robert Silverberg's To Open the Sky follows two rival religious movements over nearly a century as they pursue competing visions of transcending death: the technologically-minded Vorsters, who chase engineered immortality, and the Harmonists, who seek a biological merger with the universe from a base on Venus. The novel traces how these sects' ambitions reshape human society and drive an eventual reach toward the stars. It was assembled from a run of linked novelettes Silverberg published in Galaxy magazine in the mid-1960s.
