| Summary | "Star Born" by Andre Norton is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The narrative explores themes of identity and evolution as it delves into the lives of colonists on the alien planet Astra, where they navigate the ramifications of their heritage from Earth while adapting to their new environment. The story begins with Dalgard Nordis and Sssuri, an alien merman, as they embark on an expedition that signifies the coming-of-age journey expected of young males in their colony. The opening of "Star Born" introduces Dalgard and Sssuri as they journey towards a cove, highlighting the bond they've formed despite their differences in race and species. As they set up camp, Dalgard meditates on the changes in their ancestral lineage and the challenges they face in a world inhabited by both familiar threats and unknown dangers. The arrival of an unusual comet adds an element of foreboding, hinting at deeper conflicts tied to their past and the mysterious remnants of a civilization that once dominated Astra. As their adventure unfolds, the duo prepares to confront the realities of an ancient power and its potential resurgence, making it clear that their journey transcends mere exploration into an exploration of their very identities.
