Tonight the Stars Revolt! by Gardner F. Fox
"Tonight the Stars Revolt!" by Gardner F. Fox is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around the themes of rebellion against tyrannical rule, the pursuit of knowledge, and the struggle for freedom in a futuristic world. It is set on the planet Karr, where societal divisions and the oppression by the ruling elite create a backdrop for the protagonist's journey. The narrative follows Red Angus, aspace pirate and nobleman who opposes the despot Stal Tay and the oppressive Hierarchy that controls society through fear and superstition. Angus, having escaped from captivity, is embroiled in a plot to assassinate the Diktor, which leads him to embark on a quest for the legendary Book of Nard. This ancient text holds the secrets of the Elder Race, who once thrived on Karr. Along the way, Angus allies himself with the enigmatic priestess Moana and must confront the powers of both the Diktor and the Hierarch, who seek to control the energies of the black pools that dominate the landscape. Through betrayals, epic battles, and the quest for liberation, Angus discovers the potential for scientific advancement and the importance of sharing knowledge with the oppressed people of Karr, ultimately striving to inspire a revolution against their oppressors.
