StarFall : Phaeton and the Chariot of
the Sun
by Michael Cadnum
In a time when gods ruled the heaven and the earth, there lived
a young man named Phaeton, who desperately wanted to believe that
he was the son of the mighty Apollo, god of the sun. Uncertain yet
hopeful, Phaeton resolves to undertake a long and dangerous journey
to the gates of dawn in order to confront Apollo and uncover the
truth.
Excerpt:
The young man did not want to say what he was thinking, even as
the old campaigner lifted his pelta — a crescent-shaped
shield: Be careful, honored Aristander - your best fighting days
are past.
Phaeton's youthful half sisters joined them, long-limbed Phaethusa,
nearly as fleet of foot as her brother, and Lampetia, who made birds
and beasts out of red river clay.
