	Additional Information


	ROD BARRON SAVED THE LIVE OF ANOTHER TEEN-AN ALIEN! In this classic from the 1950s, Rod Barron, a typical teen of the period, rescues a young boy he finds staggering away from a wrecked metal disk. Rod never dreams that he is putting earth's existence in jeopardy! For the boy, Clonar, is an alien adolescent whose ship has crashed on Earth. Soon a strong bond of friendship develops between the young castaway from space and his earthly counterpart. Then Clonar creates an international crisis when he utters the words. "My people are coming to destroy your world!" For galactic civilization fears Earth as a planet whose wars and strife might shortly spread to other worlds. Son of the Stars is an electrifying story with a thought-provoking theme, climaxed with a scene of power and drama rarely equaled in science fiction. Here is a breath-taking science fiction classic you won't put down until the very last page-and won't be able to forget until men reach the stars and learn for themselves! As Galaxy magazine said, "Rip-snorting adventure .an effective morality about how an alien visitor makes friends with an earth lad and eventually staves off an invasion by his own kind, even though the attack was provoked by the bureaucrats who run the Earth." Raymond F. Jones (1915-1994) was a native of the Far West. He gave Ron Barron, his young hero, mountains not unlike those near the city of his own birth-S alt Lake City-in which to discover a battered flying saucer. And he made Ron an amateur astronomer, out of respect for the thousands of young men whose hobbies will make them the researchers and inventors of the future. Jones's own hobbies-model included railroading and photography. During his lifetime his stories earned him popularity with thousands upon thousands of science fiction readers.
