| Summary |
"Outcast of the Stars" by Robert Silverberg is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows Yorkan Varr, a man wrongfully exiled to Earth, the "garbage world" of the Galaxy, for a murder he did not commit. The book explores themes of injustice, identity, and rebellion against a corrupt system. In "Outcast of the Stars," Yorkan Varr, now living under the false identity of John Arthur Stern, navigates his new life on Earth filled with exiles just like him. As he encounters Elizabeth Kirk and the sinister Matt Skardoth, Varr uncovers a plot where Skardoth, the very man who framed him for murder, is leading a group of exiles to seize control of Earth. The story unfolds as Stern seeks to prove his innocence and dismantle Skardoth's corrupt plans, ultimately revealing a deeper conspiracy involving the Council of Judges who orchestrated their exile. Mixing tension with a quest for justice, the novel explores Yorkan's struggle to reclaim his life while exposing the truths behind the civilization that wronged him.
