| Summary | "The Universe — or Nothing" by Meyer Moldeven is a science fiction novel written in the late 20th century. The book explores themes of interstellar exploration, resource depletion, and political conflict as characters navigate through a future where Earth's resources are dwindling and humanity is seeking to expand into space. At the center of the story are complex characters including Lieutenant Pete O'Hare, Lieutenant Jake Ramirez, and President Rymer Camari, each confronting the dire challenges of their world. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a futuristic scenario where space patrols are engaged in reconnaissance missions around Pluto, highlighting the tensions between the United Inner Planetary System and insurgent factions on the planet. The narrative revolves around attacks on the recon-patrollers, leading to a high-stakes response from their command structure. We are introduced to advanced interstellar technology, the political ramifications of resource scarcity, and the looming threat of hostile forces. The prologue establishes an urgent context for the unfolding drama, setting the stage for a tale that intertwines space logistic challenges with human conflict and survival.
