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.

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.

Reception

Algis Budrys praised The Reefs of Space as "a most rewarding piece of science fiction . . . full of inventions [and] the constant generation of science-fiction ideas and science-fiction characters." However, he criticized its ending as "anticlimactic" and for its failure to resolve themes involving several prominent characters.^[1]
