Summary "Medal of Honor" by Mack Reynolds is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. This story explores the adventures of Captain Don Mathers, a pilot in a futuristic war. The book likely examines the themes of heroism, the burden of honor, and moral dilemmas in the context of military and societal expectations. The narrative follows Don Mathers, who is increasingly disillusioned with his role as a one-man scout during a war against the Kradens. After a series of troubling patrols, he is drawn into a deceitful plot by billionaire Lawrence Demming and his secretary, Max Rostoff, who offer him the opportunity to capture a derelict enemy cruiser in exchange for the Galactic Medal of Honor. As the plan unfolds, and after successfully faking a heroic act, Mathers receives the prestigious medal, giving him immense power and social status. However, he soon finds himself manipulated by his newfound fame and wealth, grappling with the consequences of his actions and the ethical implications of his involuntary complicity in war profiteering. Ultimately, Mathers confronts the stark realities of his situation and the responsibilities that come with his unilateral honor. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
