The short story "The Star" was kind of confusing to me. Some parts of it I understood and others I didnt. One thing I didn't understand was if the Phoenix gas ball around a star was the thing that blew up? and Where the people came from that they thought were living there.

The beginning of my book is interesting and sort of confusing. It has a couple of flashbacks from when the main character was in the war and then when he was back at home. In the beginning they are bombing some sort of plantation and they ended up getting followed and chased down by a jet which made them crash. Everyone died except the co-pilet. A little later in the book a huge air balloon crashed into a unknown object and thats where I left off, was the police officers trying to figure out what the unknown object was.
