| Summary | "Threlkeld's Daughter" by James Bell is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story explores themes of identity, love, and the clash between human emotions and alien logic, as it follows a unique mission involving interstellar beings. The book likely delves into what it means to be human, with the central focus on the titular character, Gelerie, who grapples with her newly acquired human traits and feelings. In the narrative, Captain Threlkeld and his daughter Gelerie, who is transformed into a humanoid form, embark on a mission to Earth to successfully lure and capture a young male human for their home planet of Alpha Centauri. Throughout the story, Gelerie struggles with the complexities of human emotions and desires, which conflict with her father's logic-driven perspective. As they navigate various challenges and encounter unexpected obstacles, Gelerie develops genuine feelings for Twitty, a young Earthman, complicating their mission. Ultimately, Gelerie proposes to marry Twitty and offer a new human specimen to her alien superior, balancing her duty and her newfound love, which leads to a resolution filled with hope for both their species.
