Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Revolt of the Devil Star" by Ross Rocklynne is a science fiction narrative that was likely written in the early 1950s. The story explores the existential themes of creation, death, and the nature of choice within the vast universe, delving into the fate of a character named Devil Star as he grapples with the predetermined laws of existence and his desire to defy them. The plot follows Devil Star, a cosmic entity who confronts the inevitability of death, which he learns is the destiny shared by all beings. His journey is marked by encounters with other energy creatures like Moon Flame and Dark Fire, through which he wrestles with profound questions about creation, choice, and the patterns that govern life. In the end, rather than succumbing to the cosmic flows of destiny, he seeks to assert his own will. The tale unfolds as a tragic exploration of rebellion against fate, ultimately culminating in a poignant realization about the nature of life and the significance of choice, illustrating how even the greatest rebels might find themselves entwined in the very systems they wish to escape.
