Summary | "The Castaway" by George Danzell is a science fiction novella published in the early 1940s. The story unfolds aboard a spaceship, where a crew discovers a mysterious man named Paul Moran who is found on an asteroid after being marooned. The central theme of the book revolves around survival, existential questions, and the haunting presence of the past. The narrative centers on the crew of the spaceship "Antigone", who rescue Paul Moran, an enigmatic figure claiming to have been marooned in the depths of space. As Moran's sinister influence begins to disrupt the ship's systems, it becomes evident that he is more than just an ordinary spacefarer. The crew faces a series of misfortunes, which they suspect may be linked to Moran's presence. As they uncover his true identity as the long-lost genius John Cartaphilus, they learn he harbors a dark obsession with death stemming from a tragic past. Ultimately, Moran's complex character drives the crew to grapple with their fate as they aim to escape the dangers of the H-layer surrounding Earth, while contemplating the nature of redemption and the possibility of finding peace in the void of space.
