Summary "Attrition" by Jim Wannamaker is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 1960s during the rise of the space age. The story revolves around a mission to investigate the disappearance of a crew from a starship that has been exploring a new planet, Epsilon-Terra. As the narrative unfolds, it explores themes of survival, danger in the unknowns of space, and the challenges of human adaptability in extraterrestrial environments. The protagonist, Ivor Vincent Callum, a special agent for the Interstellar Security, is thrust into a mission when his leave is abruptly recalled due to the distressing news of the missing GSS 231. The novel follows Callum as he travels to Epsilon-Terra to uncover the fate of the crew, eventually leading him to discover grim remains and a mysterious, deadly plant species that has evolved in response to human activity. Through meticulous investigation, he pieces together the tragic events that led to the crew's demise and confronts the inherent risks of exploration while reflecting on the human tendency towards arrogance and the unforeseen consequences of our actions in unfamiliar worlds.
