By 1977 National Public Radio (NPR) was in trouble, plagued by too little funding and small audiences. The phenomenal success of its adaptation of Star Wars as a radio drama in 1981 gave NPR the needed ratings, publicity, and boost in donations that kept it afloat at exactly the time it was threatened the most. Most importantly, Star Wars brought a new audience to NPR. As it did in theaters, where George Lucas's films redefined movie making, so too did NPR's Star Wars forever change the artistic world of radio drama. That a radio network, dependent exclusively on audio, would find a lifeline in one of the most visually dynamic movies ever released is the stuff of irony. Utilizing new interviews with creatives such as Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Ann Sachs (Princess Leia), Perry King (Han Solo), and director John Madden, and archival research, this book details how an unlikely alliance of academics, radio executives, Lucasfilm employees, actors, and behind-the-scenes artists banded together, despite the obstacles, to create a unique and consequential work. It is also the story of how writer Brian Daley was the fulcrum who made it all possible.

Descendants of the goddess Danu, the Star Children have lit the stars in the sky at night for countless millennia, but when the eldest goes rogue, he’ll seek to shroud the world in darkness. From the winner of the RONE Award for Best YA Book of 2019—faeries, gods and goddesses, and the magick of Ireland merge in this expansive new edition, the first book and the gateway to the enthralling Star Child series. Kellen St. James hasn’t exactly led a normal life. For starters, he’s a genius with an uncanny memory who’s earned a Yale degree at seventeen. Yet the weirdest thing about Kellen isn’t even his brain. It’s the girl who’s been haunting his dreams every night for the past eleven years. The last thing he expects is for Calienta to show up in his kitchen and reveal he’s tied up in a prophecy he knew nothing about—one that decrees he’s supposed to save the world. To make matters stranger, Calienta’s brother, Cabhan, joins the Dark Side and aligns himself with Arawn, the evil Lord of Faerie. At Arawn’s bidding, Cabhan kidnaps his own father, the Sun God, Lugh. Soon Kellen and Calienta find themselves in a race to save the deity. But as Kellen’s connection to Calienta deepens, so does his fear: he’s a writer, not a fighter. In the end, Kellen will have to fight Arawn with more than just his mind, else all the light from the world will be lost for eternity.
