STARMEN A Novel by Francis Hamit

STARMEN is a clever blend of historical fiction, science fiction, and fantasy, with references to real events and figures. The novel opens in 1875, in the dusty town of El Paso, and from the very beginning I felt like I was really there, walking the streets with the characters. Hamit incorporates elements of Native American mythology, folklore, and cosmology in this novel, creating a rich and diverse world that challenges the conventional Western genre. The characters are well-developed and engaging, each with their own motivations, secrets, and flaws. The plot is fast-paced and full of twists and turns, that kept me turning the pages until the very end. Starmen also explores themes such as identity, culture, colonialism, and the nature of reality, raising interesting questions and dilemmas for the characters and the reader. This is a novel that defies expectations and genres, offering a unique and thrilling experience for fans of adventure, history, and science. Glen Olsen
