| Summary | "The Space Flame" by Alexander M. Phillips is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the themes of isolation and survival in space, as a crew aboard the spaceship "Denebola" grapples with both mutiny and the mysterious threat of sentient flame-like entities that jeopardize their lives. The novel showcases the psychological toll of prolonged space travel and the perils that lie not only in the cosmos but also within the minds of men. The narrative focuses on Cargyle, the second officer, who finds himself in a struggle for survival aboard the "Denebola" after a mutiny breaks out among the crew, exacerbated by the presence of strange flame beings that seem to be consuming the ship from within. As Cargyle navigates bloody confrontations and deadly encounters with both the mutinous crew and the supernatural flames, he discovers that these entities are no mere hallucinations but energy beings that threaten the structure of the ship. With the captain and an astrophysicist, Markoe, Cargyle races against time to find a way to neutralize the flames and restore contact with Tracolatown before it's too late. This gripping tale blends elements of suspense, the intricacies of human nature under stress, and the challenges of venturing into uncharted territories, making it a compelling read for fans of classic science fiction.
