Summary: "Derelict" by Alan Edward Nourse is a science fiction novel written in the early to mid-20th century. The story revolves around a mysterious spaceship that appears near a satellite station, drawing the attention of the crew stationed there. The novel explores themes of ambition, loyalty, and the ethical dilemmas faced by individuals when confronted with power dynamics and personal desires in a tense, isolated environment. In "Derelict," the crew of a remote satellite station encounters a massive and seemingly abandoned ship from deep space. As they attempt to make contact and understand the origin of the vessel, tensions rise, particularly between Second-in-Command John Sabo and Captain Loomis, who is eager to claim glory for discovering an interstellar drive. When Sabo and engineer Brownie venture aboard the ship, they discover the remains of its alien crew, raising questions about the ship's purpose and nearly revealing a dark secret. Ultimately, as Loomis’s ambitions threaten their safety, Sabo and Brownie find themselves in a desperate bid for freedom, leading to an explosive confrontation that forces Sabo to choose between self-preservation and the greater good. The story delicately balances the thrill of exploration with the moral implications of authority and survival in the face of adversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
