520			_a"Child of the Sun" by Leigh Brackett is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s. It explores themes of freedom, oppression, and existence within a cosmic setting, as it follows the struggle of humans in a dystopian world governed by a tyrant named Gantry Hilton, who wields near-godlike control over minds through his Psycho-Adjuster. The narrative centers on the character Eric Falken and his desperate attempts to escape capture and save both himself and an Unregenerate woman named Sheila Moore from the clutches of Hiltonism. In the book, Eric Falken is pursued by the Hiltonist forces and must navigate the treacherous depths of space aboard his ship, the "Falcon". Along the way, he grapples with his past, loss, and the looming threat of being "Hiltonized." As he and Sheila seek refuge on a mysterious planet named Vulcan, they encounter a powerful entity known as the Sun-child, a being of immense energy and intelligence who has created its own fantastical world, yet remains trapped in it. The narrative evolves into a battle of wills as Falken and Sheila confront both their oppressor and the Sun-child, ultimately forming a tentative alliance to create a new haven for the Unregenerates. The climax revolves around a poignant moment where Falken challenges the Sun-child’s identity and purpose, leading to a transformation that offers hope for humanity's future in a newly formed world.
