The cult classic video game Xenogears takes some pretty heavy inspiration from Childhood’s End, among various other things. In the original Japanese one major character is outright named Karellen.

Classic sci-fi is well out of my usual area so I would never have read this book without Xenogears, but I’m very glad I did

I got drawn to this book by Xenogears as well. Highly recommended, both the book and the game.
