The first book of THE STARCHILD TRILOGY (The Reefs Of Space) I gave four stars.
This book (STARCHILD) is not quite as good as the first one.
In STARCHILD The Collar is still a big part of the story, but only brief mention is made of The Body Bank.

Things really start to become interesting when in the second novel, a creature known as the starchild sends a message to the plan of man that its rule is at an end.
After the coming of the starchild, it is discovered that many of the stars in the sky are actually sentient beings.
Much of the trilogy seems somewhat corny by today's standards, but was a masterpiece given the time of its writing in the 1960's.

Another similar case is the Starchild Trilogy series, which has as a major plot point the steady state model of cosmology.
The series's primary background deals with the developments which would arise from this theory; however, by the late 1960s new evidence led the Big Bang theory to supersede the steady-state model.

One thing left me cold....At one point in the story someone says that they've known several people who were sent to The Body Bank, but they've never known anyone to recieve a body part from there.
This trilogy got progressively worse for me. The first book (REEFS OF SPACE) I really liked and it was my favorite, but by the time I reached the final pages of the third book (ROGUE STAR) I didn't really know where the authors were heading with it and I really didn't care.
I felt they had abandoned some earlier concepts a little too early, and perhaps could have pursued and developed other story-lines further.

 The Great Jack Williamson - Message Board - ezboard.com
So shame on me--even though I, and many other, recognize his prodigious contributions to the genres I either haven't read that much or read his stuff so long ago I've forgotten exactly what I've read.
I do remember, at least, reading the Starchild trilogy, Trapped in Space and Star Bridge.
If Heinlein had mixed "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" with the semantic subtheme of his short story "Gulf," and seasoned it with Clarke's "2001" and Disney's "The Black Hole," he could have cooked up this story.

So, if the story's valid to human nature, it doesn't really matter all that much in the long run if the science is out-dated.
Speaking of which, one of your more popular works is the series you co-wrote with Fred Pohl, The Starchild Trilogy.
Those books had more big ideas crammed into them than most books written before or since.
