Summary "Competition" by James Causey is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. Set in a futuristic context where humanity is exploring new planets for colonization, the book revolves around the crew of scientists who investigate a mysterious and deadly disease that has wiped out a test colony on the planet Epsilon. The narrative intertwines themes of survival and human competition in the face of extraterrestrial challenges. The story follows Greta, a dedicated biochemist, and her interactions with her fellow crew members, particularly Max, a skilled pilot and bacteriologist. As they explore Epsilon, they confront the horrifying fate of the colony, discovering skeletal remains that suggest the colonists perished due to internal conflict or disease. Tensions escalate within the crew as they struggle to find answers, revealing their rivalries and personal demons. The plot thickens with each character's hidden motives and resulting paranoia, culminating in a shocking betrayal that highlights the darker aspects of human nature and the implications of competition in extreme circumstances. Ultimately, "Competition" offers a blend of scientific inquiry and psychological suspense, making it an intriguing read for fans of speculative fiction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
