Kemlo

Kemlo

Kemlo is the central character in E. C. Eliott's series of 1950s and 60s children's science fiction books. E. C. Eliott is a pseudonym of Reginald Alec Martin.

Kemlo and his friends were born and raised in space, and could "breathe" in space. Their parents were standard terrestrial air breathers, whilst the space-born children "breathed Plasmorgia". They could not initially travel to Earth, but did later with the aid of compressed plasmorgia and the assistance of "gravity rays".
They lived on Satellite Belt K, one of (presumably) 26 big space stations each named after a letter of the alphabet. All children born on a space station were given names with the same initial, hence the names Kemlo, Kartin, Kerowski, Krillie, and so on.
