Loeb Professorship in Medical Education #1 Professor of Medicine Bachelor of Arts, University of California Santa Barbara, 1991 Doctor of Medicine, Cornell University, 1995Įlliot Efrem Abbey, M.D. Vice Chancellor for Medical Education (primary appointment) Sr Associate Dean for Education Carol B. I'm looking forward to the inevitable sequel.Eva Marie Aagaard, M.D. Overall this is a very emotional, beautiful sci-fi tale with enough action to satisfy adult readers. The “I love you – F**k you too” chapters are particularly clever. The dialogue is fun too Janus, Camese, and Diana in particular talk brusquely and sarcastic. The characters are rather interesting, with Diana leaving her lesbian lover Vesta, to be with the male Janus, after they disagree on the future of the stellae. There is even a description of a new disembodied “Stella” and what that experience is like for the stellae stars. There is nonstop action, some sex, and a little gore (nothing really graphic). For instance, is this Earth in the future, or another planet? I wasn't clear on that, but the story is vivid nonetheless. This was a fun and fascinating tale, but I was left wishing a I had a little more detail into the background of this world. He meets Diana, a woman who runs the psychopump and controls the souls that are released into the stellae. Janus is a biohacker determined to destroy the stellae and re-establish order.
The Star and the Stellae is a fantasy novel where the upper class has the option to enter a “lifeless death” and join the stellae – a constellation of star-like, godly souls that controls the living lower class below.
