Summary "4-1/2B, Eros" by Malcolm Jameson is a science fiction novella written in the early 1940s. The story revolves around Captain Hank Karns, a seasoned space trader, who finds himself entangled in the corrupt politics of Venus while trying to save his friend from a wrongful imprisonment. The narrative explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and cunning within a backdrop of interplanetary trade and intrigue. The plot follows Karns as he learns that his longtime friend, Cappy Wilkerson, has been unjustly sentenced to hard labor in the treacherous swamps of Venus under suspicious circumstances. Determined to save him, Karns sets off to Mercury as part of a risky plan. Throughout his journey, he encounters a nefarious drug smuggling operation led by the notorious Von Kleber, who poses significant obstacles. Utilizing his wits and trading expertise, Karns discovers a hidden cache of drugs and ultimately assists in bringing down the criminal enterprise. The story culminates with Karns regaining his freedom alongside his friends and returning to his ship, the "Swapper", which has been restored and stocked for new ventures.
