Our Child of the Stars, An Interview With Stephen Cox
In this Podcast we interview Stephen Cox about his second novel - Our Child of the Stars. Stephen uses science fiction to explore a number of crucial issue including family relationships, existential threats, personal ambition and the enduring quality of compassion.
\nSmall-town USA, entering the Seventies. A childless couple Gene and Molly adopted a strange, wounded child of the stars they call Cory.
\nMolly is the main narrative voice \u2013 a passionate nurse fighting for her own extraordinary child. Cory is gentle, vibrant, excitable, endlessly curious and loving \u2013 and both joy and danger comes from his otherworldly origins.
\nIn Our Child of Two Worlds a figure from the past brings uncomfortable truths and Gene and Molly face the terrifying loss of everything they took for granted. Humanity needs Cory\u2019s people to return to save the Earth \u2013 but if they take Molly\u2019s son, it will break her heart.
