Cox, Stephen
Entry updated 10 April 2023. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US-born author, in UK from childhood, who is of sf interest for the Our Child sequence beginning with Our Child of the Stars (2018), set initially in the 1960s, after a meteor has devastated a New England village (see Disaster), leaving an Alien infant to be raised by a human family. The tale darkens momentarily when it seems that Earth may be plummeted into an interstellar Space Opera conflict. But family values triumph, and in Our Child of Two Worlds (2022) the alien boy, now an adolescent trying to decide his true alliance, adheres to those values.
Cox should not be confused with Stephen R Cox or the UK artist Stephen Cox (1946- ). [JC]
