Starchild Trilogy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Starchild Trilogy is a series of three books written by Frederik Pohl and Jack Williamson. In the future depicted in this series, mankind is ruled by a brutal authoritarian totalitarian government known as the Plan of Man, enforced by a computerized surveillance state.
One notable point involving the series, particularly the early books is that they were written prior to the disproving of the steady state theory of cosmology. This may make certain portions of series confusing for readers aware of current scientific understanding.
The books in the series were:
- The Reefs of Space (1964)
- Starchild (1965)
- Rogue Star (1969)
An omnibus edition titled The Starchild Trilogy was first published in 1980.
