Raised and educated in Trelone's own family alongside Plaxy, his youngest daughter, Sirius is a truly remarkable and gifted creature.

Honestly one of the best books I've ever read, and brought forth my admiration for science fiction. It's twist in perspective and philosophy makes it such a unique piece among all the rest, and although seen from a non human perspective, I agree it is one of the most human books of Stapledon's.
