In Star Born, Andre Norton transports us to a human colony in a distant galaxy, where generations have fled Earth to escape a tyrannical regime. These outlaws live in secrecy, forging bonds with an aquatic race of mermen who share their struggle against a brutal enemy known as Those Others. Having retreated to the depths of the ocean to evade persecution, the mermen now face a new threat as Dalgard, a young human scout on a rite of passage, and his companion Sssuri, stumble upon a sinister gathering of Those Others intent on recovering deadly weapons from a forsaken city. Their shocking discovery is compounded by the arrival of new Earthlings, further complicating their precarious existence. Join us for a thrilling exploration of bravery, friendship, and survival in a world on the brink. (Summary by Mark F. Smith)
