Summary "Avoidance Situation" by James V. McConnell is a science fiction narrative written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around Captain Allen Hawkins and his crew aboard the spaceship "Sunward", who find themselves in a dire predicament with the alien Dakn Empire, facing an ultimatum that threatens the very existence of humanity. The book explores themes of choice, survival, and the human spirit when confronted with overwhelming odds. The plot follows the crew of the "Sunward" as they discover a new habitable planet named Trellis and subsequently encounter an alien named Lan Sur, who presents them with a dire choice: surrender to the Dakn Empire or face annihilation. Captain Hawkins grapples with the implications of this decision, emphasizing the need for humanity's survival over pride. As they attempt to prepare for the inevitable confrontation, they also confront their own emotional responses and the weight of their choices. Ultimately, Hawkins devises a daring plan to escape by using the ship's subspace drive, leading to a climactic moment that not only determines the fate of his crew but also shapes the future trajectory of the human race in the cosmos.
