Summary "The Hated" by Paul Flehr is a science fiction novel written during the late 1950s. The book explores the psychological aftermath of a space mission to Mars and delves into themes of trauma, hate, and violent retribution among crew members. It captures the complexities of human emotions and relationships that emerge in the confined, high-stress environment of space travel. The story follows the protagonist, Byron, a troubled astronaut returning from a mission to Mars, grappling with his memories and unresolved animosities toward his fellow crew members, particularly one he refers to as "Chowderhead." As he navigates through bars and encounters with various women, Byron's suppressed rage surfaces, revealing the mental fracturing imposed by the mission's psychological conditioning that prevents astronauts from harming each other. Throughout his journey, the narrative builds tension as Byron seeks to confront Chowderhead, encapsulating his inner turmoil and the brutal mental scars inflicted by his experiences in space. Ultimately, the book serves as a poignant commentary on the struggle to reintegrate into society after traumatic events and the internal battles that define one's sense of identity and agency.
