Summary "Judas Ram" by Sam Merwin, Jr. is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 1950s, particularly during the golden age of science fiction. The story addresses a bizarre and harrowing situation in which humans are captured and experimented on by alien beings, exploring themes of captivity, adaptation, and the essence of humanity. The title suggests a connection to themes of betrayal and sacrifice, drawing a parallel to the biblical figure Judas Iscariot. The protagonist, Roger Tennant, finds himself trapped in a surreal and oppressive environment with three women who are also captives. He grapples with feelings of helplessness as their alien captors manipulate their desires and emotions for their own purposes. Roger learns that he possesses unique abilities within this alternate dimension, allowing him a degree of control. As the story progresses, Roger's internal conflict intensifies when he is given the chance to escape through a portal to Earth but realizes it would involve betraying another potential victim. Ultimately, he chooses to return to help the women left behind, forming a bond with Dana, who becomes a symbol of their shared struggles against alien manipulation and their quest for freedom. The novel culminates in a confrontation that forces Roger to confront his own values and the implications of loyalty in a world devoid of moral clarity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
