| Summary |
"Vassals of the Lode-Star" by Gardner F. Fox is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around Thor Masterson, an Earthman who becomes embroiled in a cosmic conflict after being transported to a fantastical alien world where he faces off against the ancient and powerful entity known as Aava. The narrative unfolds as Thor, accompanied by various companions, navigates strange dimensions and battles both androids and otherworldly creatures, while seeking to understand and ultimately defeat the malevolent force threatening their existence. At the start of the novel, the audience is introduced to Thor Masterson amid a chaotic battle that seems to transcend conventional reality, as his home on Earth is inexplicably merged with an alien landscape. Thor displays strength and resourcefulness as he instincts kick in to protect a beautiful woman named Karola from a diminutive adversary. As they explore this bizarre new world filled with twisted space and strange beings, they encounter the mysterious "Discoverer," who provides insight into their situation. The opening portion establishes a sense of urgency and adventure, characterized by Thor's determination to confront powerful threats while deepening his bond with Karola, all the while hinting at larger cosmic stakes involving Aava and his android army.
