To The Stars

Description for TO THE STARS by Harry Harrison:

Jan Kulozik, a brilliant young electronics engineer on 23rd-century Earth, battles to the stars and back on a desperate and fateful quest.  Outcast as a member of a corrupt Earth's privileged elite, banished as a rebel and traitor to a God-forgotten planet.  Jan risks his life against unthinkable odds to free the oppressed millions, to sever Earth's tyrannical rule over its far-flung star colonies and to restore humanity's heritage.
