Our Child of Two Worlds is a remarkable story of family and the power of love, set against the backdrop of a fast-changing, terrifying decade and an interstellar threat almost beyond imagining.
Stephen Cox is responsible for a fairly new love for reading Science Fiction, a genre that I very much thought I’d never find peace with. It all started with Our Child of The Stars (book one) of which this is the sequel coming in April 2022. In book one we meet Cory,
Another beautiful book that is so much more than a defining genre. Stephen Cox delicately weaves in poignant and emotive issues into his writing, putting everyday characters and challenges alongside what should feel unrealistic and out of this world. But it doesn’t. Molly and Gene Myers are ordinary people with an extraordinary life unfolding around them.
It’s absolutely wonderful to be able to unravel more of Cory’s life and see where Molly and Gene are too. There are new characters, all of which are woven into the book to build them up into realistic people, with their own complexities and back stories too. There are many many themes throughout, community, family, love, loss, and so much more.
This book can be read as a standalone but your experience will be so much better if you dive into Our Child of the Stars and get to know the origins of Cory and the start of his journey on earth. You can read my review of book one here.

About the Author…
My grandmother told me I read too much. I remember walking in the garden when I was small, telling myself stories.
Our Child of the Stars began as a short story I wrote for Halloween in 2013. I became obsessed with Gene and Molly, and Cory, the little boy they adopt, under such challenging circumstances.
I’m interested in strong, believable characters and their relationships. I like writing to have hope and humour, and to recognise the dark and unfair side of life. Usually, my work has some speculative or fantastical elements, but I am not interested in strict barriers between genres.
I’ve lived in several places. I spent nearly all my childhood in Bristol, and I’m now an adoptive Londoner. I have a partner and two teenage children. I’m a professional communicator, a science PhD dropout, a recovering poet, and a Quaker.
