Eddy and Effie Lancaster are well-off, young, educated, and healthy fraternal twins in Mike Kupari’s novel “Twin Star.” They’re citizens of Albion Prime, a prosperous planet in the Interstellar Alliance. In their late 20s, they can make a comfortable life on Albion without much effort. Eddy is content with the life of a gentleman of leisure on this stodgy paradise of a planet.
Their uncle, Jacques “Jack” Arsenault-Lancaster, runs an import-export firm. He’s an immigrant who met the twins’ Aunt Abigail while visiting Albion, falling in love and marrying her. Before that, he spent his time knocking around the galaxy, both raiding and trading. He’s now semi-retired but keeps his hand in interstellar trading while remaining on Albion.
