"Fly By Night" by Arthur Dekker Savage is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story presents an intriguing exploration of human relationships set against the backdrop of space exploration during a time when the concept of space travel was rapidly evolving. At its core, the book delves into themes of love, fear, and the consequences of technological advancement, all while capturing the essence of human emotion in extraordinary circumstances. The narrative follows two protagonists, Ken and Carol, who are thrust together as they embark on humanity's first mission to circle the moon in a military spacecraft. Initially bound by the expectations of their roles as idealized young heroes, they grapple with the realities hiding beneath their mission's veneer. As they navigate the vastness of space, they uncover a deeper connection that transcends their initial premise—brought forth by their shared ordeal and the gravity of their situation amid unsettling revelations about their world's past. In a shocking twist, they discover that an impending war has altered the Earth and transformed their destructive context into a quest for survival in a drastically changed future. The novel paints a vivid picture of isolation, resilience, and the search for hope amidst despair as they learn to reconcile their identities and responsibilities in a world forever altered by time and conflict.
