| Summary | "The Monster" by S. M. Tenneshaw is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The book delves into the consequences of an experimental rocket launch intended to study the effects of cosmic rays on living organisms. It explores themes of ambition, scientific morality, and the unforeseen ramifications of tampering with nature. The story follows Fred Trent, a journalist covering the launch of a rocket that includes a cat as part of an experiment. He encounters Dr. Blair Gaddon, a scientist with radical beliefs about cosmic rays and their potential to produce immortality. As the narrative unfolds, Gaddon subjectively believes he can harness these rays to transform himself into a higher being but instead transforms into a monstrous feline creature after a cat and Gaddon's consciousness become fused within the rocket. As the horrifying transformation occurs, chaos ensues, leading to a tragic climax involving the creature’s deadly intentions, highlighting the perils of scientific hubris and the loss of humanity in the pursuit of immortality.
