| Summary | "Brink of Madness" by Walt Sheldon is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around Richard Pell, a Central Investigation Bureau (C.I.B.) agent, as he grapples with national tensions and personal strife against the backdrop of a brewing conflict between Earth and Venus. As Pell investigates a mysterious political movement that threatens peace, he finds himself caught between duty and his troubled marriage, seeking to uncover the truth behind a dangerous group known as the Supremists. The plot unfolds as Pell is thrust into a web of intrigue involving a mind-altering enzyme that influences people's thoughts and loyalties. He encounters key figures, including Chief Larkin and scientific advisor Dr. Walter Nebel, who reveal a manipulative scheme to reignite war with Venus. Pell's personal life deteriorates as he struggles to maintain the bond with his wife, Ciel, who has been conditioned by the very people he's trying to uncover. The narrative moves towards a tension-filled confrontation as Pell must outwit his captors and dismantle a nefarious plan that risks the future of interplanetary relations. Ultimately, he must find a way to restore not only peace but also the trust within his own relationship. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
