James Blish - not for Blish setting the end of the Universe in 4004 AD (the chronology in early editions of They Shall have Stars differed somewhat from the later reprints, showing that this had not been planned by Blish at the beginning of the series). Another group of novels were (apparently retrospectively) declared by Blish to be a trilogy, each dealing with an aspect of the price of knowledge, and given the overall name by Blish of 'After Such Knowledge' (the title taken from a T.S. Eliot quote). The first, A Case of Conscience (a winner of the 1959 Hugo award), showed a Jesuit priest confronted with an alien intelligent race, apparently unfallen, which he eventually concludes must be a Satanic fabrication. The second, Doctor Mirabilis, is an historical novel about the medieval.

John Crichton - year 2000. He is in his 30's and he became an astronaut because of his father, Jack. John, however, is a more theoretical scientist and he developed a module called Farscape One to test his theory that, by using the gravitational pull of the Earth to slingshot his craft (a maneuver called a gravitational slingshot), he could achieve flight speeds faster than any previous craft with no fuel expenditure. However, during his test flight, there was a solar flare that caused a wormhole to appear and John and his module were pulled through the wormhole to the far end of the universe. John is a typical science-nerd who, because of his current situation, has had to adapt rather quickly to a life of aliens, guns, being hunted, and no TV or.
