The StardroppersThe Stardroppers is a science fiction novel by John Brunner, originally published in 1963 as Listen, the Stars, then in revised and expanded form in 1972. It is about an undercover United Nations agent investigating a new fad, "stardropping", whereby physics-violating equipment is used to listen to sounds believed to be alien or paranormal signals.
