| Summary | "All Day September" by Roger Kuykendall is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The narrative primarily revolves around a prospector named Howard Evans, who faces a critical situation on the Moon after a meteor damages his equipment, leaving him at risk of starvation and oxygen depletion. The story explores themes of survival, exploration, and human ingenuity in a futuristic setting. The plot centers on Evans, who is prospecting for minerals on the Moon when an unforeseen meteor incident compromises his life-support system. With limited oxygen and dwindling supplies, he explores the lunar landscape, uncovering natural ice caves crucial for his survival. As time progresses, his predicament is mirrored by the urgency of those on Earth and their attempts to rescue him. Ultimately, Evans ingeniously transforms the ice he finds into water, effectively securing his survival against overwhelming odds, illustrating not only the resilience of the human spirit but also the potential for resourcefulness in extreme circumstances. The novel culminates in a rescue mission, highlighting the interconnectedness of human efforts across the Moon and Earth. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
