NOMINATED FOR THE PULIZER PRIZE FOR FICTION From Literary Titan: ***** Set in 1875, Starmen, by Francis Hamit takes readers to the El Paso branch of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, where a complex and unusual case unfolds. Anthropologist George Frazer seeks the agency's assistance to connect with the local Apache community for a matter that has piqued his personal interest. Concurrently, the appearance of a mysterious hot air balloon over the town marks the beginning of a series of extraordinary events. The narrative weaves through the Pinkertons' investigation of a missing Chicago heir and Frazer's astonishing discovery about the Apache tribe, gradually intertwining concepts of string theory and quantum mechanics, suggesting a universe far more complex than its characters comprehend. Starmen is a creative fusion of Western motifs, magical realism, and elements that might seem anachronistic for the late 19th century. Its ambitious nature is evident in its length and depth, making it more suited for readers looking for an immersive, rather than a quick, reading experience. Readers will note echoes of the HBO series Westworld and elements reminiscent of Back to the Future Part III within its pages. The story boasts a rich tapestry of characters, offering a multitude of plot threads that create a vibrant and complex narrative. This intricacy reflects the engaging journeys of the protagonists as they navigate their adventures. Hamit thoughtfully provides resolutions to the many twists and turns, aiming to satisfy the curiosity and imagination of readers through diverse and creative storylines. Hamit's narrative is a tapestry of gunslinging, romance, extraterrestrial life, witchcraft, and parallel universes. Such a rich mix of themes presents a formidable challenge in achieving a concise conclusion, but the author is more than successful. Starmen is a richly layered novel that masterfully blends historical facts with fantasy, creating an immersive and captivating reading experience.
