Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Sentinel Stars: A Novel of the Future" by Louis Charbonneau is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story revolves around TRH-247, a citizen whose existence is defined by numbers rather than names in a dystopian society where individuality is suppressed. TRH-247 faces existential questions about freedom and identity, and his journey leads him to a rebellious act that alters the course of his life. At the start of the novel, TRH-247 grapples with his disillusionment in a society governed by the Organization, a powerful entity that dictates the lives of its citizens. The opening reveals his inner turmoil as he awakens with a hangover, pondering his life choices amidst the backdrop of a recent societal Merger. His desire for individuality propels him to reject his assigned life and seek meaning outside the confines of his prescribed existence. This struggle for personal freedom deepens when he meets Ann, a woman whose beauty captivates him and ignites a longing for a deeper connection. Their brief encounter in a world dictated by rules and designations raises questions about the nature of love and freedom, setting the stage for TRH-247's ensuing journey toward self-discovery and rebellion.
