Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Starmen" by Leigh Brackett is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story centers on Michael Trehearne, a man who feels disconnected and alone in his life, only to find himself embroiled in a mystery of identity that spans across worlds when he encounters a mysterious stranger named Kerrel and a captivating girl named Shairn. As Trehearne searches for his family roots and grapples with his existence, he discovers he is part of a secret lineage tied to the enigmatic Vardda people and the truth about interstellar life. At the start of the novel, Trehearne recalls a fateful evening in Brittany, where he meets Kerrel, a striking stranger with a notable resemblance to himself. This encounter ignites Trehearne’s quest to uncover his family's past, leading him to confront local prejudices and uncover the allure of Shairn, who shares a connection to both Kerrel and a heritage that fascinates and frightens him. The tension escalates as Trehearne gets pulled into a larger narrative involving ancient bloodlines, alien worlds, and the potential for remarkable transformation as he navigates the strange and powerful undercurrents of his newfound identity and the responsibilities it entails.
