Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Under the Desert Stars" by Frank Koester is a novel written in the early 20th century. This narrative appears to revolve around themes of love, hypnotism, and the struggles inherent in human relationships, particularly focusing on the character Sana, who finds herself caught in a web of emotions and manipulations from those around her, including her fiancé, François de Rochelle. The story unfolds against the backdrop of both New York City and exotic locations such as the Sahara, hinting at a fusion of romance and adventure. The opening of the novel introduces the troubled character Sana, who finds herself at the Queensborough Bridge, contemplating her life. There, she encounters Carl Lohman, who senses her distress. As they converse, it becomes evident that Sana harbors deep emotional turmoil influenced by her hypnotic relationship with François. Following her time with Carl, she returns to her hotel, where her fiancé waits. Unbeknownst to her, François's mysterious hold over her could lead her to fatal decisions. The dynamic between Sana, Carl, and François sets the stage for a story filled with suspense and emotional conflict, as Sana struggles against an unseen force that compels her towards self-destruction.
