Summary "The Bramble Bush" by Randall Garrett is a science fiction novel set in a future lunar colony, written in the early 1960s. The story revolves around the character Peter de Hooch, a nucleonics engineer, who faces a critical situation involving a malfunction in a nuclear reactor. The narrative explores themes of technology, human error, and survival in a hazardous environment, particularly the perils associated with nuclear energy in space. The plot unfolds as Peter de Hooch is awakened by a violent explosion caused by a reactor malfunction in the lunar facility where he works. Responding to an emergency call from his colleague Sam Willows, he discovers that two fellow engineers are trapped and unconscious inside a reactor room. As tensions rise and the reactor's temperature and pressure levels become alarming, de Hooch must navigate the chaos, confront the implications of the reactor's unstable conditions, and ultimately find a means of neutralizing a dangerous situation. The stakes escalate when he realizes he is coated in radioactive mercury, compelling him to take drastic action to save both himself and his colleagues while keeping their lab from catastrophic failure. The story climaxes with his audacious decision to enter the reactor itself, relying on the reactor's properties to remove the harmful mercury before any disaster ensues.
