Summary "The Black Tide" by Arthur G. Stangland is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story is set in a futuristic world where space exploration and private enterprise in the mining of asteroids are prominent themes. It revolves around the challenges faced by the Staker brothers as they embark on an ambitious project to uncover uranium in the asteroid belt, navigating both personal conflicts and external threats from a powerful corporate rival. The narrative follows Bill Staker, a rocket captain haunted by fears of the vastness of space and his fragile sense of self-worth. As he grapples with inner turmoil and a fraught relationship with his brother Tom—who enthusiastically embraces their grand mining venture—Bill becomes embroiled in a web of corporate espionage and rivalry with the Asteroid Mining Corporation. Tensions escalate as Tom and his crew face life-threatening dangers in space following a sabotaged mission, compelling Bill to confront his fears and reconcile with his brother. The story culminates in themes of brotherhood, courage, and the quest for independence against oppressive monopolies, ultimately highlighting the enduring spirit of human aspiration.
