???Gully Foyle is my name
And Terra is my nation.
Deep space is my dwelling place,
The stars my destination.???
A ???rags to riches??? book, set in the far future with an interesting mechanic ??? jaunting, basically thought teleportation. While criminally underused, it was something somewhat fresh in sci-fi, besides other novel concepts in the book, related to it. Also, it could be mentioned that it???s a sort of truncated retelling of The Count of Monte Crist by Alexandre Dumas, in my opinion.
You should read it if you???re a fan of sci-fi since it is a classic for obvious reasons.
