| Summary | "Even Stephen" by Charles A. Stearns is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The book explores themes of societal structure, individual agency, and the moral dilemmas faced in a futuristic setting. It likely examines the dynamics of power and survival in a world where idealism clashes with reality. The narrative follows Stephen, a dedicated technician who becomes entangled with Turpan, a notorious assassin. After being kidnapped by Turpan during a police pursuit, Stephen is taken to a secluded island that has formed a Molein Field, isolating its inhabitants from the outside world. There, he learns of a rebellion brewing against Turpan's tyrannical ambitions as he seizes control of the island's inhabitants. The tension escalates as Stephen grapples with his role as a technician—and ultimately finds himself caught between survival, loyalty, and the moral implications of dictatorial power. As the story unfolds, Stephen’s ingenuity and resourcefulness come to the forefront against Turpan's chaotic and predatory nature, leading to a climax that questions the true meaning of freedom and human connection in a uniquely crafted dystopian society.
