H. Thames is a science fiction adventure story written in the mid-20th century, likely during the 1950s. The book follows the exploits of Johnny Mayhem, a man with the unique ability to inhabit various bodies, as he faces the daunting task of saving the spaceship "Glory of the Galaxy", which is on a collision course with the sun. The narrative intertwines themes of sacrifice, heroism, and the exploration of human consciousness in the context of futuristic space travel. In the story, as the "Glory of the Galaxy" hurtles toward destruction, Johnny Mayhem is summoned through an unusual means to take control of the body of a Secret Service agent named Larry Grange aboard the ship. As chaos unfolds with the ship's crew divided and chaos erupting among them, Mayhem must navigate the challenges of his new vessel while contending with dwindling time. The passengers aboard include the President of the Galactic Federation, and the stakes are high as Mayhem, aided by Grange, must figure out how to save everyone aboard from the impending disaster. The tale climaxes with a desperate attempt to shift into subspace to evade the sun’s gravitational pull, culminating in a mix of physical struggle and character growth as Larry transitions to a more heroic persona under Mayhem's influence.
