Summary "The Passenger" by Kenneth Harmon is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around Lenore Smithson, a young woman returning to Earth after five years of working with the Government Education Service on a barren planet. It explores themes of longing, identity, and unexpected connections, all set against the backdrop of space travel. In the novel, Lenore finds herself aboard a transport vessel back to Earth, filled with anticipation for her return home. As she navigates her feelings of nostalgia and excitement, she inadvertently connects with a telepath named Fairheart, who is confined to his cabin due to a broken ankle. Their conversations develop from light flirtation to deeper intimacy as they share their experiences and loneliness. However, the story takes a dark turn when Lenore discovers that there is a menacing creature lurking in Fairheart's living quarters, resulting in a chilling climax that blends romance with suspense. Ultimately, "The Passenger" weaves a tale of human connection amid the vastness of space, highlighted by an unsettling twist that leaves readers questioning safety and trust.
