Adam Eddington
Adam Eddington III is a major character in three young adult novels by Madeleine L'Engle. A marine biology student, he is the protagonist of ''The Arm of the Starfish'' (1965), and a reluctant romantic love interest for Vicky Austin in ''A Ring of Endless Light'' (1980), a romantic relationship that continues in ''Troubling a Star'' (1994). He is one of three characters to have major appearances in both L'Engle's O'Keefe family series of books and her Austin family series.
==Major traits==
Adam is highly intelligent, with a strong aptitude for science, especially marine biology, a field in which Adam's uncle and namesake made a name for himself a generation earlier. Although he describes himself as "not a churchgoer", he sang in a church choir as a child, and retains a strong moral sense along with a questioning, philosophical nature. Initially somewhat naive, Adam unwisely trusts a beautiful young woman in ''The Arm of the Starfish'', which results in the death of a friend. Because of this, Adam tries unsuccessfully to maintain an emotional distance from Vicky Austin when he meets her the following summer. He appreciates Vicky for her kind, forthright and poetic nature, and the two become close to each other anyway. By the end of his third and final appearance, Adam and Vicky appear to have formed quite a strong and close, everlasting romantic relationship.
