SuitabookStar Gate
Andre Norton
- Reading
- You could pause after a gate crossing to map which characters and conditions have changed, then compare how those changes affect Kincar’s decisions.
- Themes
- Alternate worlds and divergent lives: Kincar travels between versions of Gorth and encounters counterparts whose lives and conduct differ from those of people he knows. The parallel-world premise explores how different historical paths can produce sharply different societies and versions of individuals.
- Rule and oppression: On the world Kincar reaches, Star Lords rule cruelly and enslave the native Gorthians. The rulers’ cruelty and enslavement are presented as oppressive conditions that the travellers seek to end.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes enslavement and cruelty towards Gorthians, as well as a threat that Kincar may be killed by being fed to dangerous animals.
