| 520 | _a"The Lamps of the Angels" by Richard Sabia is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The narrative explores themes of ambition, family, and the struggle between earthly bonds and the call of the stars. It follows Roberto Sanchez, an astronaut preparing for his journey to Alpha Centauri, as he grapples with his mother's fears about humanity's pursuit of the cosmos, which she views as a sacred realm preserved for divine beings. The story centers on Roberto’s relationship with his family, particularly his mother, Mrs. Sanchez, who holds traditional views about man's place in the universe and fears for her son's safety in the stars. As Roberto prepares to embark on his historic journey, the tension between his aspirations and his mother's beliefs culminates in a horrifying encounter with celestial beings in another dimension, which dramatically alters his perception of himself and humanity. Ultimately, the narrative weaves a poignant tale of personal sacrifice, the complexities of familial ties, and the eternal quest for knowledge beyond earthly limitations, leaving readers to ponder the true cost of human exploration.
