The stirring adventure of a mutant—an alien in his own world—who reached for a star and became a savior.

Novel title and author’s name set in Earth, with a modified biform-style lowercase t. Strangely, both of the alternate T’s are also slapped next to one another (yikes!), in a rather clunky fashion, to create the impression of a regular T. A similar issue also appears in Elfring’s digital version, where both alternates are also combined and presented as a single glyph. Additional text is set in Eurostile Extended.

Cover art by Ken Barr. Designer/s currently unknown.
