(Raymond Zinke) Gallun, Raymond Zinke Big Pill Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Greg Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Big Pill" by Raymond Z. Gallun is a science fiction novel written during the early 1950s. Set on Titan, one of Saturn's moons, the narrative explores the complex challenges of space colonization and the consequences of human ambition. The story revolves around a catastrophic accident involving a flawed piece of equipment, which results in the tragic loss of lives and serves as a catalyst for the protagonist, Bert Kraskow, to seek retribution against the negligence that led to the disaster. The plot unfolds with Bert Kraskow grappling with the recent death of his younger brother, Nick, in an accident caused by faulty airdome equipment. In his quest for justice, Bert becomes embroiled in a power struggle with the unscrupulous Trenton Lauren, the head of Space Colonists' Supply, which produced the defective equipment. As tensions rise, Bert and his wife Alice decide to harness a dangerous yet groundbreaking device called the "Big Pill," initially invented by the murdered scientist Doc Kramer, to transform Titan into a more habitable environment. The novel culminates in an explosive confrontation where Bert must not only fight for justice but also for the survival of the colonists, ultimately leading to a revitalized Titan and a glimmer of hope for humanity's future in space.
