"The Giants From Outer Space" by Geoff St. Reynard is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The book follows Captain John Pinkham and his crew aboard the spaceship "Elephant's Child" as they explore a distant star system and encounter perilous unknown life forms. Central to the narrative is the intriguing discovery of a human figure in spacesuit on a previously uninhabited asteroid, suggesting that there may be more to the cosmos than meets the eye, including the enigmatic beings that the title refers to as giants. At the start of the story, the crew of the "Elephant's Child" is engaged in a routine exploration when they detect signs of life on a small asteroid. Captain Pinkham's disbelief transforms into concern as they retrieve a human in a spacesuit, revealing a woman named Circe Smith, who claims to have been stranded there for years. As the crew grapples with the implications of her existence, they encounter a powerful alien presence that manipulates their ship and crew. Tension builds as Captain Pinkham and his men must confront the threat of these giants while trying to unravel the secrets of their capabilities, leading to a riveting clash between survival and cosmic entity.
