Another reader writes in with a story description looking for a title. Do any of our readers out there know the title of this story? It’s not much to go on. Consider it a challenge of your science fictional prowess!
I trying to find out if anyone remembers a SF book that I read 15 or 20 years ago, about a sun that becomes aware that it’s intelligent and ponders it’s existence and finally reaches out to other suns and communicates with them.- Scott C.

Olaf Stapledon’s novel STAR MAKER?
Frederik Pohl’s The World at the end of Time?
It reminds me of Frank Herbert’s Whipping Star, but I don’t think that’s it.
My husband chimes in with “From a Changeling Star” by Jeffrey Carver. It’s a sub-plot in that book.
Re: Anonymous – “Star Maker” was my first thought as well!
Solaris by Stanislaw Lem?
Or is that a planet?
My first thought was “From a Changeling Star” as well.
Ooh. That storyline sounds famiiar! But none of those title given sound familiar…
I’m pretty sure Anonymous got it in one with “Starmaker.” This is a big part of the latter half of the novel.
I’m not sure about “Starmaker” though — in Stapledon everything is so impersonal. It’s not a star realizing things and reaching out, it’s the narrator realizing that stars have been doing this. Different POV, if you see what I mean.
Rogue Star by Jack Williamson & Frederik Pohl?
