The Songs of Distant Earth by Arthur C Clarke
Five hundred years later after the Earth is consumed in flames, the Magellan must make planetfall to repair its quantum drive. Its million sleepers awake to find themselves visitors to Thalassa, where a civilization has, in fact, survived. There is a clash of cultures unlike any before.
'Clarke's simple, musical style never falters in this novel, which is a sobering yet far from bleak commentary on humanity's longing for the starsHighly recommended' Library Journal
