There have been so many science fiction books published that it's impossible to read them all (unless you're really an android). So I'm going to highlight a little-known book by a big-time publisher. It's called
Star God by Allen L. Wold, published in 1980 by St. Martin's Press. Although I believe Wold considers his
Planet Masters series better, I haven't read those. Also, it's been a while since I read
Star God, so I'm mainly going to discuss what the story is about rather than get into minute details.
