“This person is not even human. It’s impossible for me to diagnose the injury or illness of such a structure as his!” With these words and a worried frown, Doc Smithers sums up the case of the strange creature that lay on Ron Barron’s bed. For the boy, Clonar, is like nothing earth’s medical books have ever cataloged. And the day Ron Barron found him, staggering away from the wrecked metal disk that lay hidden near Longview, is one that put earth’s existence in jeopardy! In SON OF THE STARS, Raymond Jones has written of a forthright friendship between a young castaway from space and his earthly counterpart. How a cold and suspicious military, recognizing Clonar only as an alien from an astonishingly advanced civilization, turns friendship into treachery that threatens earth’s existence, makes this an electrifying story with a thought-provoking theme. In scenes uncomfortably vivid, you’ll meet soldiers and citizens of a typical American city; people like calculating General Gillispie and frightened Mrs. Barron, whose reactions to an “interplanetary” situation bring the world to the brink of destruction. Clonar’s words, “They’re coming to destroy your world!” refer to a planet whose wars and strife might shortly spread to other worlds. Climaxed with a scene of power and drama unmatched in science fiction, SON OF THE STARS is a breath-taking book you won’t put down until the very last page – and won’t be able to forget until men reach the stars and learn for themselves!
