"The Man the Sun-Gods Made" by Gardner F. Fox is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century. The story dives into themes of identity, power, and heroism against a backdrop of alien worlds, focusing on a character named Tyr who is worshipped as a god by the Tryllans, yet struggles with his own humanity and the expectations placed upon him. The book explores the conflict between Tyr's unique abilities and the oppressive rule of the "ardth" people, drawing readers into a vivid cosmic landscape where advanced technologies and primal struggles intertwine. In the narrative, Tyr is a seemingly godlike being who derives energy from the sun and has extraordinary strength and speed, leading the Trylla race to view him as their savior. As the "ardth" return to reclaim dominance, Tyr grapples with his role as a protector while uncovering his origins which link him to the "ardth". His quest leads him to the Barrow, an ancient repository of knowledge, where he ultimately aims to find a way to defeat the "ardth" and free his people. The story culminates with Tyr's transformation into a powerful entity fueled by the Glow, a miniature sun, and his decision to embrace his dual heritage as he forges a new alliance between the Trylla and the "ardth", paving a path towards understanding and coexistence.
