| Summary | "Sentry of the Sky" by Evelyn E. Smith is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story centers around Clarey, a Sub-Archivist struggling to find his place in a hierarchical society where reclassification often brings disappointment. Initially thrust into a seemingly mundane position, Clarey faces the possibility of an unexpected opportunity that may change his life forever, leading him towards a role of intelligence agent on an alien planet called Damorlan. The opening of the narrative finds Clarey visiting a Classification Center, anticipating another mundane day, only to be surprised by a notification of reclassification. He learns he has been deemed fit for an important artistic role, but not the one he dreams of as a Musician—instead, he’s recruited for the position of intelligence agent on Damorlan due to his unique attributes. As the story progresses, Clarey's internal conflict rises; he grapples with feelings of inadequacy, the expectations placed on him, and the shadows of his true identity. His journey on this alien planet reveals deeper societal issues and personal struggles, including questions of belonging, authenticity, and the ramifications of cultural intersections.
